Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has admitted that his side are feeling in a "confident" frame of mind after they notched up their 16th straight win in all competitions.

The Belgian was on the scoresheet this afternoon as City ran out 2-0 winners at Leicester City, extending their healthy lead at the top of the table and putting them firmly in the driving seat for the title.

The result also extended their impressive unbeaten start to the season in all competitions - a run of 18 games that has seen them score 54 times while conceding just 11.

"We controlled the game for 90 minutes," De Bruyne told reporters at the King Power. "It is not easy against Leicester because they play very direct. We didn't create too many chances but our second half was very good.

"We are feeling confident in the way we are playing. It is a busy schedule but we are doing really well."

City next host Feyenoord in the Champions League in midweek before travelling to Huddersfield Town next Sunday afternoon.
