Arsenal on mind of City boss Pellegrini

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits he is preparing for tonight’s Champions League Group D match at Bayern Munich with thoughts of the Barclays Premier League meeting with Arsenal that follows it in mind.

City have already secured qualification for the knockout stages of the competition and while they can still move up a place to secure top spot in the section ahead of current leaders Bayern, the odds look stacked against them doing it.

The Blues then host Premier League table-toppers Arsenal, who they trail by six points, on Saturday.
