Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini:

“Stoke were defending with 10 players in their box. It was very important to be concentrated for counter-attacks and set pieces. Both things were important, to keep a clean sheet and to be patient.

“I thought we controlled the game and it was a matter of time before we scored.

“Stevan Jovetic felt his hamstring so we will see what the doctor says.

“We will see about Sergio Aguero. He will start working with the team on Tuesday. We will see during the team if he is fit to play in the Capital one Cup final.”

Stoke boss Mark Hughes:

“We are disappointed because we put in a huge effort. We were excellent in the first half.

“We came here with a gameplan and we executed it really well.

“I thought we were a threat on the break when we regained possession and out of possession we were organised. They found us really hard to break down.

“In the end, we have just made a couple of errors which led to the goal and they were grateful to get the goal and the three points.”
