Man City can win EPL: Kompany

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany believes the manner of his side's 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle at the weekend shows they can still win the Premier League this season.

With Yaya Toure back in the fold after international duty and David Silva and Sergio Aguero hitting top form after injury, City cut the gap between themselves and leaders Chelsea to five points with 12 games to go.

Having overhauled both Chelsea and Liverpool last season to win the title, Kompany says City are hitting full steam at the right time.

"We're putting in a fight again for the Premier League - you saw that," he told reporters.

"And we'll put in a fight for the Champions League too. The history of this club tells you that in the past six years we always keep progressing." "Our team has been proving our determination in recent years.

"That's one thing when you look back on this team in the future you will never be able to say we did not have. We've always come back.
