Kompany sidelined for another month
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists that he is not anxious about his side’s six-match winless run away from home.

The Belgium global, 29, missed the goalless draw against Leicester on Tuesday night and Pellegrini revealed he will be out for at least another three to four weeks.
However, Pellegrini sees reason for optimism and believes they can win the title with a good second half of the season.
He had not played a game since the trip to Aston Villa in early November in what was City’s last clean sheet.
“It was good to have a clean sheet but for me the best thing from that game [City’s 0-0 draw with Leicester] 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.
“I’m not happy but I’m not disappointed either because we played well but didn’t score”.
However, he lasted just nine minutes before limping off.
Otamendi arrived at City in August and can already see Kompany’s importance to the side, but said Manuel Pellegrini had the depth to cover his absence.
“It is the same calf but a different part”, Pellegrini told ESPN.
Kompany will continue to be scrutinised to get to the bottom of his problems.
“I think the squad is complete”.
Ranieri said: “I think we made a very good match”.
“I don’t talk about rumours”, Pellegrini said in a news conference, giving his stock answer. “I am telling you what I am thinking about for our squad in this moment”.
Watford’s form in their first season since being promoted from the Championship has caught many by surprise with Quique Sanchez Flores’s side now lying ninth, two points behind fifth-place Palace.
“I know it’s not our position but we will fight for it”.
“We are three points behind the leaders and I hope we are going to compete strongly with a very good second half of the season”.
Delph and Gael Clichy have been passed fit ahead of the Watford clash.

They are joint-11 with 1.76 points per game, level with Bury who earned 81 points from their 46 games in 2015.
