pellegriniMan City boss Manuel Pellegrini is expecting Cardiff City to put up a fight when the teams meet at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday. But the 59 year old Chilean knows that it's all about how Man City play if they are to go on a win things this season.

City opened their season with a comfortable 4 - 0 win over Newcastle on Monday night.

Pellegrini said: “I don’t think they (Cardiff) are going to fear us. It is very important for us to play the way we played.

“What happens with the other teams, if they fear us or not, I don’t think from one match we can have an important conclusion. The important thing is that we start winning in our stadium.

“The second important thing is we win the way I want this team to play. What happens in the future we’ll see.”

Despite the easy win over Newcastle, Pellegrini is taking nothing for granted against Cardiff.

He said: “It will be very  difficult. We know Cardiff are new in the Premier  League this year but I think they are a very good team.

“It is the first game they will play at home, they will be a very difficult team.”
