Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has suggested that his team are "moving in the right way" with their performances in the Champions League this season.

The Citizens are currently top of Group D despite losing their opening home match against Juventus, and the Premier League side can consolidate their position with a victory in tomorrow night's return fixture - a target that Hart is fully focused on ahead of the match.

"We are realistic enough to know a draw would be a good result for us too but we are going to turn up with every intention of winning the game," Hart told The Guardian. "We could have the group sewn up before the last home game, and it's the first time we've had that carrot in front of us. It is a new experience but it is moving in the right way and that's what we want to continue.

"It is so pleasing to be where we are at the moment, because everyone says winning your home games is the key to getting out of the group and we lost our first one.

"The funny thing is that we even took a bit of confidence out of the defeat to Juventus, because we knew we had played well and dominated a lot of the game. We lost because Gianluigi Buffon had a good game, we didn't make the most of our chances and Juventus took theirs, and that is exactly what the Champions League is like."

City travel to Turin for their penultimate Group D fixture tomorrow night, before taking on Borussia Monchengladbach at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, December 8.
