Intro:

Manuel Pellegrini speaks as his side prepare to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Manuel Pellegrini (on future of Matija Nastasic):

"Well I don't know about that. I think that Matija Nastasic is part of the team, he has had a lot of injuries during the first part of the season but maybe some clubs have interest in him."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Manuel Pellegrini:

"You ask me if I want Frank (Lampard) to stay - of course I want him to stay because he is a very important player for our squad, he is playing very well as a top player that he is. So I think that maybe in the next days we will be sure but I cannot have 100 per cent in this moment."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Manuel Pellegrini:

"Tomorrow we will see. I repeat of course we must change the way we play, a different system as of course you don't have strikers you must try to arrive to the goal in different ways. I hope that tomorrow we will do it, I know that we play against a team that defend very well also so we will see tomorrow the best solution to play without them."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Manuel Pellegrini (on San Lorenzo in Club World Cup final):

"I really very, very happy for San Lorenzo for his fans that they can play this final against Real Madrid. I hope - I have also good luck to work in both teams - I hope that the fans will see a very good game and we will see who will win."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Manuel Pellegrini:

"Very important, not the pressure we can put on Chelsea but very important to add three more points, very important to try to finish the first round of games with the most amount of points that we have. We have tomorrow to play at home, we cannot drop more points here because we already dropped the same points as last season. So in that sense it is very important for us. After that what happens with Chelsea whether they will feel the pressure or don't feel the pressure - it's not our duty - the only thing we can do is to win."
