City leads Premier League on goal difference after Everton win
Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva said he and his teammates thought they lost the league when they lost five points behind Liverpool rivals eight days earlier.
Pep Guardiola's team climbed to the top for the first time in two months after their 2-0 win at Everton on Wednesday.
However, they are above Liverpool only in contrast to goals and the Reds have one less match.
"We are still the champions and we know what we have to do to win," said Silva.
The Portuguese international has been one of the most outstanding artists of the season so far.
He added: "A few days ago, we thought we were losing the Premier League and we are now leading the standings, even if it is because we played one more game.
"It's good to be back in the race and we'll do our best to win all of our games and do our homework – it's the most important thing at the moment."
"We have three more points and that puts a bit of pressure, not only for Liverpool but also for Tottenham."
Earlier in February, City had lost seven points to Liverpool after losing to Newcastle, but 1-1 draws against the Reds against Leicester and West Ham, combined with City's consecutive wins, helped reduce the deficit.
City is still fighting on four fronts and will face Newport in the FA Cup, Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and Schalke in the Champions League before the end of the month.
"In my opinion, this is not a problem – especially when you have a team like ours," said Silva.
"If we do not have any injuries, I think we can cope with it, no problem, it's good to have a lot of games because that means we fight for everything." Mentally, it's good, we'll try to do it. "
