Manuel Pellegrini unconcerned by Manchester City away form

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists that he is not worried about his side's six-match winless run away from home.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that he is unconcerned by the club's away form in the Premier League.

City have failed to win any of their last six games on the road in a run that stretches back to September, scoring only two goals in the process.

Tuesday night's 0-0 draw with Leicester City continued that poor form, but Pellegrini insists that he is happy with how things are going at the club.

"I don't divide the games that we play away or home. I think that we have a system and it is very important when we play to get the amount of points needed to win the title," he told reporters.

"Maybe if you reduce the last games that we are playing away, we are not winning. We need to win but we are the best team to play at home. In the second half of the season we will continue improving.

"If you ask me are we happy so far? Yes, because we are near the points needed to be top of the table, we are playing in the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup and we have qualified in the Champions League. I don't think it is a good idea to divide up the games into away and home."

City remain three points adrift of both Arsenal and Leicester City at the top of the table.
