Riyad Mahrez has warned Tottenham that there will be no let-up from relentless Manchester City.
The winger scored the open as the Blues beat Sporting Lisbon 5-0 away in the Champions League on Tuesday, three days after they had maintained the gap at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 victory at Norwich.
And he says that a return to the Etihad Stadium will see the mindset from the reigning champions, as City seek to avenge an opening day defeat at White Hart Lane.
“We have the pressure in every match, but we don't think much about that,” said Mahrez, who is in great form, with nine goals and four assists in his last nine games.
“Winning this competition [the Champions League] is very far from now, we go match by match.
“The Champions League is never easy and the quality is higher, especially in the knockout games. We went to Lisbon very focused.
“There is still another game to play and this season in the Champions League there are no away goals, it is not like before.
“But the next game at home, we are going to have the same focus and the same type of game. We are going to try to win again.”
Mahrez stressed the fact that the quality and format of the Champions League makes it different from the domestic competitions.
“The Champions League is not easy and not like a league,” he said.
"You have to be there in so many things and we have to be strong and arrive at the end.
“On Tuesday we won, we played a great match, we scored five goals, and this is the way to carry on in the next games.
“Now it's time to focus on the Premier League and try to play a good game against Tottenham.”
