Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists their title push is not over.
They sit third in the table behind Chelsea and Southampton.
"Every club will drop points and show some weakness at some point over the course of a season," the Chilean coach asserted.
"It was the same last year when we lost a few early away games and when we lost to Liverpool. In the end, finally, the title came here again."
