A routine 3-0 win over West Brom moves the champions to within three points of Chelsea, who have two games in hand, but the Chilean is only concerned with his team's results
Manuel Pellegrini has insisted Manchester City are only concentrating on their own form as they look to chase down Premier League leaders Chelsea.
A comfortable 3-0 win over West Brom on Saturday sees the champions move within three points of Jose Mourinho's men, although the Blues have two games in hand.
When asked about this side's title chances, Pellegrini told reporters: "We are not thinking about that.
"If we can win [the final] eight games and Chelsea do not drop points we cannot win the title. I prefer to focus on ourselves and try to win our games and the next one against Crystal Palace."
Saturday's win was not without controversy as West Brom were reduced to 10 men inside two minutes in an apparent case of mistaken identity by referee Neil Swarbrick.
Gareth McAuley was given his marching orders despite Craig Dawson having committed the foul on Wilfried Bony, with the striker going on to break the deadlock before Fernando and David Silva wrapped up the win.
He added: "Unfortunately for West Brom, the rule is clear. He was the last man but the game is different when you have to play with one less player. It was a clear red card.
"Wilfied Bony is new in the squad and arrived after playing in the Africa Cup of Nations and he felt that. Every day, he is settling better and he is doing very well."
