It may be early in the season but – with a host of teams neck and neck at the top of the table – dropping points now could still prove crucial.
City leapfrogged Chelsea at the summit last weekend, narrowly beating Everton after the six-time defending champions drew 1-1 with Arsenal.
Asked about City’s place at the top of the table, Jeglertz praised his team but said they are well aware there is still a large chunk of the season remaining.
“There is quite long [to go], but at the same time we show that when we are on the highest peak, we definitely are a very, very good football team,” he said.
United, meanwhile, failed to capitalise on Chelsea’s stalemate as Marc Skinner’s side fell to their first defeat of the season – a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa.
A second straight league defeat is likely to be extremely damaging to the Red Devils’ title hopes, given it would mean they already trail City by seven points.
With their place at the top of the table at stake, City would do well to remember the lessons from last season.
They failed to win a single game against teams that finished above them, and rivals United took advantage to beat them to third – and claim the final Champions League spot by a point.
