- Man City trailing Arsenal
- Could draw level by winning games in hand
- Nico O’Reilly enjoying challenge
Manchester City are under a lot of pressure to win the Premier League table, but Nico O’Reilly is feeling good about the situation.
The Premier League title race is very intense, with Arsenal leading the way at the top of the table.
However, Manchester City could be back in first place if they win their two matches in hand with a plus four goal difference.
This type of pressure is not easy to deal with, but City have been here before and managed to come out on top.
Nico O’Reilly is enjoying the pressure Man City face
Of all Man City’s players, Nico O’Reilly is one of the least experienced when it comes to battling for league titles.
Despite this, the Englishman has been phenomenal for his team, and seems unphased by the need to continually keep on winning.
"Of course there is a lot of pressure, we like the pressure"

Ahead of Man City’s match against Everton, he told Sky Sports: “I’ve been enjoying it! I love it! There’s still a few games to go, and we need to get the job done.
“I think just the fire we have! We want it, and we’re going to do everything we can.
“We love moments like this, they’re exciting, and of course there’s a lot of pressure, and we like the pressure! We just need to keep going now, a few finals, and we’ll see.”
Man City are in action against Everton
The Citizens are currently at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with the aim of defeating Everton to keep up with Arsenal.
Victory would see the gap between the teams halved to only three points, but the Toffees will feel like they have a job to do too.
This is a match which Pep Guardiola’s team need to win, and O’Reilly will be looking to come up with another important contribution, as he has done so often this season.
