Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany believes that his side are "in a good position" in the Premier League at the moment.

The defending English champions are currently third in the table with 15 points from seven matches, four points behind leaders Chelsea.

"I just look at the league now and we are in a good position," he is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail.

"We've done what we needed to do and we've managed to keep ourselves at the right place.

"Chelsea are obviously doing great at the moment. We never said it wasn't going to be a tough season."

Kompany further warned the other sides competing for the title that their best is yet to come.

"We are exactly where we wanted to be, second or third place and there are still a lot of games to play," said the 26-year-old. "We are just getting through them.

"There will be moments where we will really switch it on. It's already positive for us to pick up so many points when people say maybe we didn't play our best games, but I think we have to be happy with the results.

"If we can still step it up, it's going to be a great season for us again."

City are at West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
