Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has insisted that his side must win all 11 remaining games if they are to retain their Premier League title.

The champions are currently 12 points behind rivals Manchester United at the top of the table, but maintained the pressure on the league leaders after their 2-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday.

The Ivory Coast international has urged his teammates to carry on fighting for their crown.

"We have to keep on going and try and win all our games, because we know United are in the top spot," Toure told City's official website.

"We have to keep on going because we have 11 games remaining, and in sport you never know what can happen in the future.

"You can't say it is finished. For the football club and the fans, you can't give up now."

City travel to Aston Villa at the weekend.
