​Sterling relaxed over competition for first team places at Man City

Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling accepts his place in the starting line-up is not guaranteed.

"The players in the squad are capable of starting in any game and if the manager puts them out there, I am sure they will do the business," Sterling said.

"Obviously everyone wants to play every game but that cannot happen at this level, you have to get rotated at times and that is what happened.

"I was on the bench [against Hull] but when I come on the pitch, I have to try to contribute as much as I can for the team."

The 20-year-old relocated from Southport to Cheshire and said he is already starting to feel at home there.

"It's been good. I like how quiet it is up here, [I live] out of the way of the city centre and it is really good to get your head down, work and achieve what I want to achieve," Sterling added.
