Cape Town - Manuel Pellegrini discussed six topics ahead of his side's clash against Chelsea on Sunday at the Etihad stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini was at the press conference ahead of the mouth-watering English Premiership clash against Chelsea.
These are his views:
PELLEGRINI ON:
New defender Eliaquim Mangala: "He has no problem and he is working with the squad. He started late in his preparation."
Goalkeeper Joe Hart against Bayern Munich: "Joe had a very good game against Bayern but that is why he is number one in England."
The speculation regarding Yaya Toure's commitment to the cause: "I don’t agree that Yaya has all the responsibility for the games. He always has commitment."
The fitness of Sergio Aguero: "When he is 100% fit, Sergio always makes a difference. At this moment he is not ready to play three games in one week."
Manchester City's current form: "We have been very unlucky in our last two games. We must win our next game at home so we are just two points behind."
