Manuel Pellegrini remains quiet over Joe Hart inclusion

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini hints that Costel Pantilimon may be given a shot against Everton this afternoon.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has hinted that Joe Hart may be dropped for this afternoon's early kickoff against Everton at the Etihad Stadium.

The England keeper's standards noticeably slipped last season and he has failed to pick up at the start of this campaign, leading the Chilean tactician to consider handing the gloves to Costel Pantilimon.

"I will decide tomorrow (Saturday) if [Hart] starts," Pellegrini told reporters. "I don't tell you now if Joe will play because the players don't know yet, I am always contemplating different things.

"Of course, Joe knows he must improve the way he is playing but he has our trust. The three goals we conceded against Bayern Munich were not only Joe Hart's responsibility for what happened.

"They are all different goals but at least four of the six we have conceded in our last two matches are due to a lack of concentration. That's very important. You must concentrate for the 90 minutes."

The 26-year-old has conceded seven goals in six Premier League games this season.
