Nicolas Otamendi: Man City can cope without Vincent Kompany
London-Leicester finished 2015 level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League after a goalless draw with Manchester City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.

Vincent Kompany suffered another calf injury when coming on as a substitute in the 4-1 victory over Sunderland in Boxing Day.
“Vincent has an injury, second degree on his calf so we’ll see how many weeks he will be out”.
The Chilean said: “No, really I think the squad is complete”.
“It is not the same injury – the same calf – but in a different part”.
City take on Watford in the Premier League on Saturday evening as they look for their first away win since September 12, and while Pellegrini wants his players to enjoy themselves, he still wants them in bed at a reasonable hour.
With Nicolas Otamendi and Eliaquim Mangala yet to keep a clean sheet prior to Tuesday, some City fans may have feared the worst facing the league’s joint-highest scorers without their captain.
“We know him and we know from before that he needs two or three games to return to his normal performance, ” said the City boss. We didn’t come to try to draw. “The two teams above us (in the table) deserve to be there”, the England global said.
“We had more possession and attempts than Leicester and did more to win the game, but if you can t win it s important not to lose”.
“We’re a very good team, we’ve proved that – we’re still up there in the mix”.
“Yes of course, because if we didn’t win the last games that we play away, it is because we must improve”, said Pellegrini.
“But when you play 19 games, half of the season, and they are continue to play in a good way, it is because they have important players in a good moment, putting in a high-level of performance, and with managers who are doing their jobs very well”.
“I m not happy but I m not disappointed either because we played well but didn t score”.
“I’d love this to continue but it’s not easy”.
