Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is confident that his side can mount a serious title challenge this year, despite slipping up three times already on the road.
City, who look unstoppable at home, have yet to win a game on their travels yet, picking up one draw and two defeats.
A 0-0 with Stoke City is the best they’ve had when away from the Etihad Stadium as there other two trips have ended in 3-2 defeats, to Cardiff City and Aston Villa respectively.
However, despite the poor performances away from home, Pellegrini is confident that his side can mount a serious title challenge and has refused to panic about results just yet.
“I think the Premier League is very regular,” said Pellegrini. “I don’t know how many teams will be fighting for the title because we are just starting.
“It is a very tough league and the differences between teams are not too much.
“We are just starting working and we hope that we will improve in the future so we can win the games we must win.
“We are not thinking about the title at this moment. We are thinking about winning the most amount of matches. In the Premier League the differences can be very small.
“So we can’t know what will happen in the month of May but, playing the way we are playing, I am absolutely sure that we are going to be fighting for the league.”
