Pellegrini Insists A Defeat In Saturday's Crunch Clash Against Leaders Chelsea by clemostika(op): 10:57am On Jan 31, 2015
London - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists a defeat in Saturday's crunch clash against leaders Chelsea wouldn't be a fatal blow to the champions' chances of retaining the Premier League title.
Pellegrini's side already trail Chelsea by five points heading into the showdown at Stamford Bridge and a loss would leave them languishing eight points behind with 15 games to play.
But Pellegrini remembers how City, then managed by his predecessor Roberto Mancini, won the title in 2012 despite falling eight points behind Manchester United at a much later stage of the campaign.
He is convinced an equally dramatic fightback is possible even if the result goes against them in west London.

"I think it is a very important game but it is not the game that will decide the title because after that we have to play for 45 points more," Pellegrini said.
