Experience the key for Pelle
Date published: 07 May 2014
MANCHESTER City will aim to take a giant stride towards regaining the Barclays Premier League trophy as they play host to Aston Villa tonight.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men can move two points clear at the top of the table with one game still to play if they win tonight.
City became overwhelming favourites when Liverpool drew 3–3 at Crystal Palace on Monday.
Pellegrini is confident the 2012 champions can handle any nerves.
The Chilean said: “We have experienced players, they’ve been in a similar situation two years ago.
“We have the pressure to win, but we’ve had it the whole year. From the beginning of the season I always said that this team wants to win the title. Now we will try to do it.”
City will be without top scorer Sergio Aguero, who limped out of last weekend’s win at Everton with a groin injury.
