Vincent Kompany believes Manchester City’s desire to retain “that special feeling” derived from a record 17 consecutive Premier League wins will motivate them at Newcastle United on Wednesday night. “When you are on such a run you want to put it aside straight away and think about the next one, because you know how little it takes to lose that special feeling. “We all have a role to say something – there are a lot of experienced lads in the team,” Kompany added. I don’t feel like there is too much difference from other seasons – we have been in high-pressure situations before, like when we had to play United [in the derby this month]. We don’t need to focus on the league or anything else other than winning the game.”
