Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini hopes his men can continue to perform like they did against Southampton, after thumping the Saints 4-1.  

 

Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri, Edin DZeko and Stefan Jovetic were all on the score sheet as City dismantled the Saints at the Etihad, but the City boss insists Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are still in the race for the Premier League title.

 

"The four teams have the same pressure until the end of the season - they all want to win the title," said Pellegrini

 

"Everyone knows that they must win - whether they know our result or not,.

 

"We just depend on ourselves until the end of the season - it's important to continue playing the way we did in the second half because I thought it was a great performance.

 

"We are enjoying a very good second round of fixtures where the results are much better than the first half.

 

"We've had four wins and one draw in our last five games - maybe we had low performances in the month of February but I think that now the team has come back to its best performances."
