Man City boss Pellegrini hails his stars for Chelsea win

Despite another prolific season, Aguero has not been included on the shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year, and Pellegrini was at a loss to explain why. Aguero failed to make this week’s shortlist for the 2016 PFA award. I think its huge game for them to get three points and move closer to staying up in the Premier League.

Silva, who has missed City’s last two league games, will be joined on the sidelines by Samir Nasri, who returned from a long-term injury this month only to pick up another knock against Chelsea.

‘Sterling is coming back from an important injury we’ll see if he can play some minutes tomorrow. “We got caught. We were naive how we defended”. “He is a very important player”, he declared.Chelsea has had a considerably dismal season when they found themselves nearing relegation in December 2015 under José Mourinho’s leadership. He’s very keen to play between the lines.

Sterling limped out of the Manchester derby with a groin injury five days later, but both have players been passed fit to rejoin Manuel Pellegrini’s squad. “The defeat is high, deserved, but not so negative that we are now desperate”.

“We were warned they could have a attractive counter-attack to harm us and it happened from our corner and made a lovely goal for them”. People in certain places will make sure that Villa will come back, Im confident of that.”.Diego Costa lost the ball in the penalty area. “I don’t fully agree with that”, said Hiddink.

“It’s hard when you’re playing an extremely intelligent team”.

It is hard not to feel these odds short.

“St James’ Park is one of the best grounds, I really enjoy playing there, the atmosphere is always fantastic. But the important thing is what you do as a team and to be as near to the top of the table as we can – the minimum is a Champions League spot for next season”.

“Some players might think that, but I cannot look into their minds, in their brains”.

When asked if a lack of trophies or Champions League qualification could have an effect, Cahill said: “We are not used to it and sometimes that produces performances like that”.
