Intro:

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini spoke on Tuesday (23rd December), ahead of his side's Boxing Day trip to West Bromwich Albion in the English Premier League on Friday (26th December).

Script:

"We are not thinking about Chelsea, just about our team. We know that it's important to have our own pressure to try to win the next game. As I said before, you never win the title in December, so we have a long five months to continue playing as well as we are doing so far and we'll see at the end of the season which team has the most points."

"I think that we are playing again with the intensity and the style that we always do. We have again players with high individual performance. We are in a good moment, we are trusting what we do. So in the same way that maybe we play in a poor way two months ago, now we are doing in a very good way."

"No, not surprised because always the Premier League not only at the top of the table but the bottom of the table is very close. I think that (West Brom) is a good team. They are not in their best moment but I am sure that on Friday they will play a very good game."
