Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that his players will continue to improve following their winning start to the Premier League season.

The former English champions have a 100% record so far having won their first three games and not conceded a goal in any.

City's latest triumph came in the form of a 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

"I think the players want to keep improving because I see the way they work every day," The Express quotes Pellegrini as saying.

"When everyone is saying you are playing so well, it is very easy to work a little more comfortable, but I see every day they are improving.

"A lot of players are still finishing their pre-season, especially the South American players who arrived late. They don't believe what you did last game will be useful to win the next game and I think we are in a good mind."

City's result at the weekend equalled their club record of nine top-flight wins in a row, which last occurred in 1912.
