Manchester City’s Premier League Title Quest

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists is side can still reach the next round of the Champions League. I was happy with the performance.

“Fortunately it is not a very serious injury but it is important for him to recover well over the next week”.

However, there is some good news for Pellegrini, as he is set to welcome playmaker David Silva and striker Wilfried Bony back to his match-day squad for Saturday’s clash.

A testing game against Southampton probably isn’t what Pellegrini would have wanted as the Blues go in search of their first win in four matches.

Caballero’s sole Premier League appearance of the season so far came in City’s 4-1 drubbing by Tottenham Hotspur on Sept.26, a game in which he admits he played poorly.

The result took City back to the top of the Barclays Premier League and the title favourites now want to make sure they stay there.

“Everybody has his own style, and I think we play nearly at the same position, but we’re very different players, so it’s better to have different players who play together than to have all the same”.

Although Southampton are a good side, Manchester City would be itching to get back to winning ways in front of their home crowd, and put their season back on track.

Caballero told Starsport: “I know Joe is in an unbelievable moment and is playing really well”.

Manchester City were looking to end a run of three games without a win and provide an immediate response following their 4-1 hammering at home to Liverpool last weekend.

“At least in the second half we played good football”.

Delph, making his first start as a replacement for Fernando, made it 2-0 11 minutes later when his long-range strike took a deflection and trickled past Stekelenburg.

Newcastle has 10 points, the same as Bournemouth which staged a dramatic comeback after trailing 2-0 to Everton then 3-2 with only seconds of stoppage time left before Junior Stanislas equalised with a header to make it 3-3.
