Manuel Pellegrini admitted his side are suffering from a crisis of confidence ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby.

Pellegrini's Premier League champions are now winless in three matches, after a Champions League draw at CSKA Moscow last Tuesday and Saturday's league defeat at West Ham. They are already six points adrift of table-topping Chelsea.
“Of course, we must be worried,” said the City boss. “We didn’t win the three games we played this week. We must be worried about that, but we must find a solution, we must address it.
“My feeling is that we are not playing well. We are in a difficult moment. There is a lack of trust.
