Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini denies Sergio Aguero is carrying the team this season.
Pellegrini insists City are not a one-man team.
He said: "I always say we have a squad and if, for different reasons, Sergio cannot play, we must have another one that can do it.
"We hope he continues the same way but I suppose Edin (Dzeko) will be fit next week and he can score also. This team we never depend just on one striker. The last (league) game, Sergio didn't score and we won with a goal from (Stevan) Jovetic and one from Yaya Toure. If you remember, we won the title here last year with a lot of games without Sergio.
"But, when he plays, it makes a difference."
