Roberto Mancini has said that he is not yet ready to concede the Premier League title race.
The current champions are 12 points behind league leaders Manchester United with 11 games left this season, following their 2-0 win over Chelsea.
The City manager told Sky Sports News: "We can't think it's finished with 11 games to go. It's not my mentality or the mentality of the players."
Mancini's side left it late to secure their title last season, needing a stoppage-time winner over Queens Park Rangers on the final day of the season to finish top of the Premier League.
