Manchester City winger Adam Johnson has hailed the club's home form after they continued their perfect record at the Eithad this season.

City's 3-0 win over Blackburn on Saturday made it 18 league wins in a row at their own ground, with 13 coming this season.

"When you play at home, there is that bit extra confidence. We have a lot more of the ball and we enjoy playing on this big pitch," the England midfielder told City TV.

"When you go away, the pitches aren't so good, they are narrower. They make it difficult for teams like us to play.

"Here we have everything in our favour and all the fans behind us, which is massive. I think that is why we perform so well."

Johnson has nine international caps to his name.
