Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has played down talk his side are hot favourites to win the Premier League title.

A comfortable 3-0 victory over rivals Man United sees the Blues sitting in second place, three points behind Chelsea, with two games in hand. But the Chilean insists he is not getting carried away and is only looking at his side’s next fixtures.

"I don't think [the title is ours to lose],” Pellegrini said. “We will continue fighting with the other three teams, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool , and we have to win the two postponed games and continue playing the way we play," said the Chilean.

"I am not thinking about the title. Tomorrow we are thinking about Arsenal [whom they face on
Saturday]."
