Manchester City need to win all of their remaining Premier League games in 2014 if they are to stay in the title race, says manager Manuel Pellegrini.<\/p>\n

City trail early leaders Chelsea by eight points after 11 league games.<\/p>\n

“We have 24 more points to try to win (in 2014),” said Pellegrini. “We have to try to do it, I think that is the only way.<\/p>\n

“I think December and this week of November are a decisive month for the Premier League.”<\/p>\n

City, who face Swansea at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, have already dropped 12 points this season and sit third in the table.<\/p>\n

At this same stage last season, City embarked on a 20-game unbeaten run in all competitions, winning 18 of them – a run that ultimately helped them lift the Premier League trophy.<\/p>\n

“We are going to finish the first round (of fixtures) at the end of December,” added Pellegrini.<\/p>\n

“I think maybe not to be top of the table, because Chelsea are in a very good moment, but I think it is important to have a good first round. That is to earn more than 41 or 42 points.”<\/p>\n
