It could take a perfect 10 wins to land title but we're going for it'

SPANISH mIdfield maestro Rodri says Manchester City might need to make it a perfect 10 to retain their Premier League title. 

The defending champions are a point behind leaders Arsenal and second-placed Liverpool after their pulsating draw at Anfield on Sunday.

Now there are 10 games to go in the title race as the battle for top spot reaches the final straight.

City’s midfield juggernaut believes Pep Guardiola’s outfit must target winning EVERY game if they are to make it four league title wins on the trot.

But first they face Newcastle this weekend in the FA Cup before the international break and return with a huge clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on March 31.

Rodri said: “We need a break. We have the FA Cup game and then go to the international teams so it will be good for us to refresh and give the last push at the end of the season.

“We know how good we are in the last part of the season, we just need to charge the batteries again and focus on the last 10 games.

“It seems you have to win nine or 10 games to win this Premier League. This is the challenge and we are going to go for it.”
