Pep Guardiola was pleased to see Manchester City take a step towards their best form with a 4-0 win over Watford ahead of next month's Champions League tie with Real Madrid.
A first-half brace from Raheem Sterling and goals after the break by Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte helped them return to winning ways after losing to Arsenal on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-finals.
The City boss highlighted City's lack of consistency this season after the victory on the road and also admitted places are up for grabs ahead of their last-16 second leg meeting with Madrid at the Etihad.
