Manuel Pellegrini hopes City will kick on from their impressive Boxing Day triumph with another three points at table-topping Leicester. The Foxes stunned the footballing world by reaching the Premier League summit for Christmas Day - but the Chilean insists the achievement is no fluke. Although Claudio Ranieri's men slipped to defeat at Liverpool on Saturday, the City boss dismissed the suggestion the Midlands outfit will fall away from the top and has urged his side to produce the same level of performance which swept Sunderland aside so expertly. Pellegrini told press: "Leicester are top of the table because they deserve to be. They have very important players in a very good moment with high performance. "They beat Chelsea and drew against United - we must consider they will not collapse because they lost. 工程师:"狐狸城值得称为榜首，他们的重要球员都处於好状态，他们击败了车车跟闷平 阿鬼，我们得要认为他们并不会忽然就失去状态。" "We knew it was not easy for them to beat Liverpool away so we were confident that we could reduce the gap at the top if we beat Sunderland. "Leicester couldn't win and now we have an important game to finish the first round of fixtures." Though the encounter has been deemed a crucial one in the title race, the boss disagreed. 工程师:"我们都知道客场战利鸟本就不容易了，所以我们当时很有信心，如果我们击败黑猫 我们的差距就会缩小，狐狸城果然没赢，现在我们有场很重要的比赛在这2015的最後一场。" "We have to play for 63 more points," he continued. "In December, you never win the title. "It's important to try and repeat Saturday's performance in as many games as we can in the second round. "As a team, we have options to fight for the title to the end." "但这并不是天王山之战，我们还有63分可以拿，你永远不可能在12月就拿下冠军，所以 现在最重要的是在剩下的这些比赛踢出很多次像礼拜六那样的比赛，身为一支球队，我们 还有机会去争取冠军。" With Leicester's top scorers Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez highlighted as the Foxes dangermen, Pellegrini was asked whether he would make special preparations to halt the pair. Vardy may miss the clash through illness but the Chilean insisted - even if he should play - it would be naive to focus solely on specific players. He declared: "Both of them are performing very well but I don't think they can do it if the whole team are not having a good performance. "They are important players but we must think about a lot of different things - not just two players. We must think about Leicester City. "We hope we can beat them but it will be a tough game." 工程师:" Jamie Vardy跟Riyad Mahrez都是很好的选手，但我不认为如果其他队友状态不是 这麽好，他们还能这麽高光。他们对狐狸城来说是很重要的选手，但我们得要去思考很多不 同面的事，不只是这两个球员，我们要面对的是狐狸城这支队伍。希望我们能击败他们。" When quizzed on team news, such as whether Sergio Aguero would return and how long Vincent Kompany would be absent for, he responded: "We will see. "It is important how the players recover. We will try to put the best players in this moment." 谈KUN跟孔队 "我想关键在於他们复原的进度，我们会试着摆出最好阵容。" ----------------- -- 2012 EPL CHAMPION 2014 Captal One AND EPL CHAMPION | \/ | / \ | \| | o O O / __| |_ _| |_ _|\ \ / / | |\/| | | - | | .` | o | (__ | | | | \ V / |_|__|_| |_|_| |_|\_| TS__[O] \___| |___| _|_|_ _|_|_ _|"""""||"""""||"""""| {======||"""""||"""""||"""""|| """ | "`-0-0-'"`-0-0-'"`-0-0-'./o--000'"`-0-0-'"`-0-0-'"`-0-0-'"`-0-0-' --
