We must beat Chelsea to revive title hopes:- Manuel Pellegrini


Manuel Pellegrini admitted his Manchester City side must win at Chelsea in this month's title showdown after slumping to a shock home defeat against Arsenal.

Goals from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud gave Arsenal the win which saw Chelsea maintain their five-point lead over champions City at the top of the table.
City and Chelsea meet at Stamford Bridge on 31 January, with Pellegrini conceding his team must win that contest to have any chance of retaining their title.
“The game we must play at Stamford Bridge is a very important game,” said the Chilean. “We must close the gap to two points.
“I hope we are going to recover and play the way we have been playing so far this season.
“We still have to play against Chelsea so it will be a very decisive game. We will try to win that game to close that gap again.”
