The defending champions are currently on a 10-match unbeaten run in the top flight, but have slipped up against the likes of Burnley and QPR – who are both in the bottom six.<\/p>\n

City missed the chance to close the three-point gap to leaders Chelsea on Saturday as they spurned a two-goal lead to draw with Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

David Silva – who scored the opener against Burnley – has suggested playing sides in the lower reaches of the table is often more difficult than facing title rivals.<\/p>\n

However, despite the blip, Pellegrini feels City’s recent form has been impressive.<\/p>\n

“I think here in the Premier League, I agree with David, every team can beat every team no matter what position they are in the table,” he said on Wednesday,<\/p>\n

“I think for us it’s more important that from the last 30 points we won 26. Obviously we wanted all 30.<\/p>\n

“We draw against QPR and we draw against Burnley – two games you would say normally we must win but it’s not so easy.<\/p>\n

“I prefer to continue having 26 points from 30 and it doesn’t matter who we lose the points to.<\/p>\n

“It’s important to continue with that average.”
Pellegrini was also asked about the futures of forward Scott Sinclair and defender Matija Nastasic, who have both been linked with exits in January.<\/p>\n

However, the Chilean refused to be drawn on any potential offers for two players seemingly surplus to requirements at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

“They are two players who are in our squad and we’ll see what happens with them in the future,” he added.<\/p>\n

“They started the season with us but if they have another option and it’s good for them and good for us, we will see will happen in the future.”<\/p>\n
