Pellegrini Aims for Winning Run

Manuel Pellegrini admits Manchester City have to win all of their remaining games if they are to stay in with a chance to win the Premier League title.

City have a total of eight games remaining in their campaign as they aim to finish top, but currently have Chelsea sitting above them and Arsenal, finishing the season strongly, chasing behind.

Pellegrini’s side face Crystal Palace on Monday night and the Chilean is focusing all his attention on that game.

“If we want to continue in first position of the table we must not drop any more points,” he said.

“It’s easy to say but not easy to do it. We just know that from now until the end of the season we must try to win all the games and we will see what we can do.”

Pellegrini expects to have a full-strength squad for the Monday night match against Crystal Palace, albeit with ‘maybe some small problems’ as a result of players’ international commitments.
