The Chilean expects the Premier League leaders to drop points between now and the end of the season and says the champions can still retain their title
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists Chelsea are not a "winning machine" and says his side can still claim the Premier League title.
City bounced back from defeats to Barcelona and Burnley with a 3-0 win over 10-man West Brom on Saturday to give their title hopes a boost.
Chelsea remain six points clear, though, having played a game less, after beating Hull City 3-2 on Sunday, but Pellegrini believes they will drop points before the season ends.“I don’t think they’re a winning machine all the time,” said Pellegrini. “I’m sure from now until the end of the season every team will drop points, so it’s important to return to our normal performance and win our games.
“After that we’ll see what happens with Chelsea. Maybe we can win all the games and maybe we can retain the title. The important thing is they must feel pressure.
“If you don’t win, it’s easy for them. We depend now just on these last eight games to at least finish in the same position we are now.”
