Manchester City next host another title rival in Tottenham, who inflicted a similarly humbling 4-1 defeat on them earlier in the season, while Leicester travel to Arsenal. We’ve been using only 14 players in a very important month.

Equally, Pellegrini’s affection for the Premier League is also becoming clear as the Chilean loosens up a little in the wake of his announcement on Monday that he will leave his current club in June.
“I don’t believe them (bookmakers)”. “At the beginning of the season the bookmakers said, ‘Sack Ranieri.’ I hope one time they are right, OK?” We know it’s a insane league and we have to try. “I just complain about the way we played today”, Pellegrini was quoted saying on Sky Sports.
They will have to play a game in each competition in an 11-day span between 21 February and 2 March.
“We have a lot of things to fight for”.
‘I don’t think we can keep talking about them being a surprise and I don’t think we can keep thinking Leicester won’t be involved in the title until the end.
City went three weeks without winning and there weren’t any doubts about Pellegrini.
Last week, City took the decision to formally announce that Guardiola will take over from Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.
He said: “I find that amusing”.
“I think Bayern lost a bit of respect for Guardiola, because he did not always show his cards”. Guardiola, who won back-to-back German league titles with Bayern and is on course for a third after joining in 2013, agreed a three-year contract with City this week and will begin work ahead of next season.
“We wanted to try to win, without pressure, just enjoy the match, and try to do our best”.
“We have seven players injured at the moment, especially in the same positions”, said Pellegrini. He has had an unbelievable journey to get to this point in his career and continues to play every game as if it’s his last.
“We had a chance to recover points at home, we are six points behind”.

“Hopefully now we can take away this momentum and come away with a victory against Leicester as well”.
