Pellegrini says Manchester City have ‘complete’ squad
“All of them must celebrate New Year’s Eve but I think they can do it early – maximum 1am”.

Manchester City skipper Kompany – who has started just eight Premier League games this term – has been sidelined with a recurrence of a long-standing calf problem and may not play again until February.
Meanwhile, the Hornets saw a five-game unbeaten streak come to an end with a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham last time out, but are on offer at 15/4 (4.75) to bounce back with a big win in this one. “It was good to keep a clean sheet at Leicester but for me the best thing from that game was to continue playing the same way we did in the last two games”. We need to win but we are the best team to play at home.
However he admits that in the insane January transfer window anything can happen.
City meet Watford on Saturday, but Pellegrini has warned Quique Sanchez Flores’ men will not be pushovers following their fine recent performances, including a win over Liverpool and draw at Chelsea. We are not really thinking of any particular player to bring in.
“I never talk about individual performances because we are a team”.
For Pellegrini, the most pressing issue right now is getting to the bottom of Vincent Kompany’s injury problems. The captain lasted only nine minutes before having to be replaced himself.
“But without him, we must continue to defend as did tonight. I think we also played very well against Leicester. Maybe we have to finish a little bit more but I think we are in the correct way”.
Skipper Morgan was left very pleased with his side’s display during the clash and stated that the positive result against the Citizens proved that the Foxes are not out of place near the top of the Premier League table.

“With the amount of points we have at this moment, it is not good to fight for the title in a normal season”. It is, in Pellegrini’s words, “a good position” going into the second half of the season, but it represents a significantly lower points total than they had accrued at the same stage in previous years.
