Man City boss Pellegrini doesn't fear for job after West Ham shock

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists he doesn't fear for his job after defeat at West Ham United.

Pellegrini suffered his second setback of the week with a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.

That followed a Champions League draw in Moscow after leading 2-0. Champions City will be EIGHT points behind Chelsea if they win at Old Trafford today.

Pellegrini said: "I don't feel any more pressure - it's the same as the first game. The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put on myself. We have another 87 points to play for so there is a long way to go.

"But I'm very disappointed with the score because we didn't deserve to lose.

"There was no hangover from the Champions League and West Ham didn't surprise me because they are playing very well."
