Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure wants his side to improve their away Premier League form in order to rise to the top of the table.
The Citizens, who are currently third in the league standings with 25 points from 13 fixtures, have been poor on the road this season and have already lost four away games.
And Toure wants his side to come out with positive results in their upcoming two away Premier League games against West Bromwich Albion and Southampton respectively in view of staying on the heels of the top two teams, namely, Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Ivory Coast international, who was voted BBC African Player of the Year, also admitted that the return of skipper Vincent Kompany this week will be a big boost for Manchester City.

“We need to start from somewhere to get the win”, Toure told his club’s official site.
“We have two away games, West Brom and then Southampton, which will be quite a hard game.
“It’s a big test for us because we need to change this run and try to be at the top.
“These couple of weeks we have shown how strong we are at home, but in this Premier League you have to do the business away as well.
“We have to stay close to the big rivals. Arsenal and Chelsea are doing well and they win away as well as home, that’s the difference.
“I hope the team can do well against West Brom and Southampton and I think it’s going to be fine.
“Our captain Vincent Kompany is coming back and everything will settle down.”
Manchester City will lock horns with West Brom tonight before taking on Southampton three days later.
