The Chilean tactician a press conference: "In the whole season all the teams are losing a lot of points. That's why I just said that maybe the team which wins the title this season will have no more than 75 points. I am sure that in the last 10 games all the teams will continue losing points.
"I said before that when you have mathematic option to win the title, a club like Manchester United will always have the option, the same as West Ham, the same as Manchester City and other clubs because we need to play for 30 points more.
"It's a lot of points and I don't think that the gap cannot be reduced in these 10 games. If you go now to Leicester, last season, I think that they won 18 points from 18 or 19 from 21 so be careful. Nothing is finished this season."
Pellegrini will have Yaya Toure back for Saturday's game against rock-bottom Aston Villa after he missed Wednesday's 3-0 defeat at Liverpool. The Ivorian's future at the Etihad is under scrutiny particularly with the imminent arrival of new boss Pep Guardiola in the summer, however Pellegrini says his experience will be crucial in the final months of the season.
The City boss said: "I think over 90 minutes he brings quality and all the players trust in him because he makes an important difference.
"In the dressing room he is one of the few players with Martin Demichelis that has played a quarterfinal of the Champions League, so I think all of them are talking about that also, so he is important in the pitch and in the dressing room."
