'We are in the driving seat now' - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Manchester City moved top of the Premier League on goals scored with a 1-0 victory over Burnley.

John: The energy and emotion expended beating Arsenal three days beforehand surely told. Nico Gonzalez should've started in place of the injured Rodri and Nico O'Reilly is more effective further forward, even if playing at left-back. While goal difference may become key, if you cannot win well then this is the time to win ugly.

Anthony: After scoring so early, it was disappointing to only score one goal - but it's job done. Three weeks ago, if I was told we would be top with five games to go, I would've snapped your hand off. Over to Arsenal now, can they cope? The Emirates will be twitching.

Ben: A frustrating watch, but that's understandable after such an emotional win on Sunday. Nobody thought we would be here four weeks ago. Well done, boys!

Roy: Only beating Burnley 1-0? It was a pathetic performance. We are not worthy.

Harry: It wasn't good, but it was good enough. The players will know the decision-making and finishing wasn't good enough. Antoine Semenyo has been fantastic but he looked gassed and he needs to remember to pass. I could wax lyrical about how poor we were in front of goal, but credit has to go to Martin Dubravka. The few times we were clinical, he stopped it.

Brian: Manchester City had to win this game, and with a 1-0 lead from the sixth minute the focus was clearly on not losing. A few chances were squandered, but a result is a result. They are in the driving seat now and they are being chased. For both Arsenal and City, losing is not an option now and every game is a cup final. Burnley were tough opposition and it was a nervy experience, but the pride of winning and being on top is worth the pain.
