Pellegrini says Man City capable of winning Quadruple

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini won't rule out winning the Quadruple this season.

City will face Blackburn Rovers in their FA Cup replay tonight.

"Is it possible to win all four? It's very difficult because of the amount of games you have to play - that's why no-one has done it before," said Pellegrini. "But the most important thing is to have the mentality to try and do it and that is what we are doing at the moment.

"We want to have the mentality to win no matter what competition we are playing in. I don't understand the reason why teams don't want to win because it is not a Premier League game. We are trying to win every match.

"Blackburn didn't surprise me in the first game. They played a very good match and I am absolutely sure that we must produce a very good performance if we want to win because they are very motivated.

"They are a very strong team and they know exactly the way they want to play. They will defend well and look for counter attacks and set-pieces to try and score a goal. It will be very close."
