Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed talk of a repeat Treble by saying he is "99.99%" certain it will not happen.
The champions are favourites to win a fourth Premier League title in succession and are also in strong contention to retain the Champions League and FA Cup.
Winning those trophies in back-to-back seasons would be unprecedented and Guardiola feels it is unlikely.
The Spaniard said: "We are 99.99% sure that we are not going to win the Treble because it has never ever been done. The chances of doing it again are minimal.
"If it was easy, another team would have done it again. It's not easy.
"Everything is so difficult in this business. What we have done in the past is absolutely no guarantee of anything.
"What I like is that we are still there. We are close to the top of the league, we are in the other competitions.
"Hopefully we will arrive in March and April with the same feeling and if we have the same feeling, we will fight for the titles in May. This is the target."
City have won their last nine games in all competitions and appear to be gathering familiar momentum at the right time.
Yet while the likes of Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez have earned praise for their form, and Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne have returned from injury, Jack Grealish has rarely featured.

The England international was one of the key players in last season's Treble success but has not hit the same heights this term and has not started City's last four games.
His subdued form comes after an unsettling incident in December when his home was burgled while his fiancee and members of his family were in the property as he played in a game at Everton.
Guardiola accepts that could have affected him.
He said: "It is not easy what happened with him, his girlfriend and family, so I'm pretty sure [it affected him].
"But he handled it really well. He is an incredible person with incredible humanity."
