Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho admits Manuel Pellegrini's squad are now looking over their shoulders following the recent axing of goalkeeper Joe Hart.
The Brazilian is impressing in the Blues' engine room after finally getting up to speed following his 30million summer move from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The 28-year-old is again set to partner Yaya Toure in the middle when City take on CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
A win at the Etihad Stadium will ensure the Manchester outfit progress to the next stage of Europe's elite competition for the first time, barring a freak set of results in the remaining two group fixtures.
But Fernandinho admits that still won't be enough for the team to take their foot off the gas in the busy weeks ahead.
He insists: "With the quality we have in our squad, everyone knows how hard they have to work. We all know we have good cover in our positions. If the moment is not good you have to work harder. It's the same for every player."
The Citizens are1.20to beat CSKA at the Etihad Stadium and1.05to progress from Group D, while they can be backed at17.00to win the Champions League.
