Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is demanding greater intensity from his players after defeat at Chelsea.
City visit Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup.
"We know exactly that if we want to win something, then we need to play every game with exactly the same concentration and intensity - then our quality will maybe make a small difference," said Pellegrini.
"Every team that wants to win something must demonstrate every week the intensity, quality and spirit that we have in this team. If you think that just with quality you are going to win, then I think you are making a great mistake."
