As Tarkowski and his teammates prepare for Boxing Day, he is heading into their clash with Manchester City full of optimism.
The Citizens are going through a poor run of form, with gives Tarkowski hope they can cause an upset.
"I go to most games that way, to be honest," he admitted.
He added: "I know it is difficult to go to these stadiums and there is a lot of talk about Man City’s form right now, but I still look at their team and see a team full of players who are quality.
"City are a top side, so people are going to question them at the minute, but we are going there fully expecting to get a result from the game.
"We are a team in good form and we have not lost many games in the last 12 or 13 games and we are in a place where we are feeling good.”
