Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has told his side that they must win all seven of their remaining games to stay in the title race.
The Sky Blues coach believes that 92 points will secure the Premier League crown for his team, and is targeting straight victories during the season run-in.
"After the Sunderland game I said only, 'Believe in yourselves' to my players because we have seven games - 21 points," The Sun quotes Mancini as saying.
"I think with 92 points we will win the title. It is important we arrive in the derby one or two points behind or maybe above them.
"This could be difficult because I don't know if they can lose six points but it is important we believe in this."
Mancini's side fell five points behind title rivals Manchester United following last weekend's 3-3 draw with Sunderland.
City take on Arsenal this Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, while United are at home to Queens Park Rangers.
