Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists they fear no-one in the Premier League.
Pellegrini has predicted Louis van Gaal, new manager of neighbours Manchester United, will revive their title challenge.
But he said: "Manchester City will be the team to beat this year.
"We have a trust and a lot of good players who can do the same this season as they did last."
