Manuel Pellegrini beleives there is no outright favourite for the Premier League title this season, but expects Manchester City to have a final push.City lie nine points behind Leicester in fourth place - with a game in hand - ahead of their trip to Liverpool on Wednesday evening.With 36 points still to play for, Pellegrini is adamant all is not lost despite the medias title focus being trained primarily on Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal. Pellegrini, who takes his side to Anfield just three days after their Capital One Cup success over Jurgen Klopps side at Wembley, said: It was a very long game in the final. Vincent Kompany and team-mates savour their Wembley success Both teams will have had the same rest, but it is easier when you have won. I dont know how Liverpool will react - it is a different competition. We will have a tough game, but we will try to win.For our team, the three points are important if we are to be involved in the title until the end. There are no favourites for the title with so many games still to play. Of course, it is easier for Leicester and Tottenham but we know what the Premier League is like. Highlights of Manchester Citys Capital One Cup victory over Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday City won 10 of their final 13 league games to claim the title in 2014 as pace-setting Liverpool faltered and the club can take heart from that victory charge, according to Pellegrini.He said: That season we always had three games in hand. We had to win them but it was important in that season. We only have one game in hand now and have to wait for other teams to slip up but I am sure we will have a final push. Sergio Aguero seals Citys title against QPR in May 2012 When you have the experience of winning the title, it is easier - you must always trust your experience. I remember when City won the title with Roberto Mancini in 2012, they were behind United with games to play.If we lose tomorrow and slip to nine points, the range of error is less. It will be a difficult game at Anfield.Also See:City win Cup on penaltiesDe Bruyne targets March returnZabaleta hails hero CaballeroCity boosted for title run-in?Wayne Chrebet Womens Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

"We know whos in charge," he said.BOULDER, Colo. -- As a 6-year-old, Alex Kelley settled into a linemans stance next to his two brothers and father for a family photo at Folsom Field.An early glimpse of blocks to come.Born in Spain and raised in San Diego, the Colorado senior center grew up humming the school fight song and hanging on every word of the stories from his dad, Karry, an offensive tackle for the Buffaloes in the 1970s.Now, Alex Kelley is front and center for the resurgence of No. 23 Colorado. He started the Buffaloes (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) on the right path by scoring the seasons first TD when he pounced on a fumble in the end zone. Theyre nationally ranked again, bowl eligible for the first time since 2007 and contending for the Pac-12 South title.Just what he always pictured.Ive been here when we lost to Fresno State, 69-14 (in 2012), to when we beat Arizona State, 40-13 (two weeks ago), Kelley said. This, right now, what were doing, I cant even put words to how fun it is. I grew up hearing all my dads stories of playing Nebraska, of running out behind Ralphie (the school mascot). I just wake up every morning extremely happy to be here.Out of high school, Kelley was all ready to commit to Boise State when Colorado entered the picture late.Black and gold it was. He couldnt help himself, even if the Buffaloes were floundering at the time.Lineman lineage ran too deep.His father played on the offensive line for the Buffaloes from 1976-79, with the team earning a conference title in `76 and ranked as high as No. 3 in `77. The Buffs went 3-8 in Karry Kelleys final season.The reverse has been true for his son. His teams struggled early -- 4-8 in 2013, 2-10 in `14, 4-9 in `15 -- and now theyve turned the corner.We knew that Colorado would rise again sooner or later, Karry Kelley said. Its really exciting to see Alex be a part of a program thats having this kind of success. The goal is a Pac-12 championship and I think they have a shot at doing that. Im pulling for that.Of course he is.His dad loves this place. Alex loves this place, coach Mike MacIntyre said. Alex has been here through a lot of rough things. Hes very well respected by his teammates. Hes done an excellent job with us this year.In many ways, Kelley is just your ordinary center: Stout blocker, bbushy beard, in sync with his quarterback Sefo Liufau, watches a lot of video.ddddddddddddAnd in some ways, hes not: Born in Madrid to missionary parents, a Teddy bear disposition (Liufaus description) and big into video games. His favorite game is Defense of the Ancients, and his favorite character is Anti-Mage, whos known for his high agility in holding back the enemy.Fitting for this 6-foot-2, 310-pound blocking machine whos springing holes for Phillip Lindsay and keeping Liufau safe in the pocket.Kelley had every linemans dream in the season opener -- a touchdown.Heres how the play unfolded: Against Colorado State, Liufau fumbled going into the end zone, and there was Kelley to jump on the football.Little did he know it was a TD, though -- the first by a Buffaloes offensive lineman since 1995. His mom, Charlyn, and dad in the stands didnt know, either. It wasnt until their son who lives in Turkey -- and was watching the game -- sent a text that Alex scored.Now that was really fun, Karry Kelley said.Alexs regret was not getting the football.Still, the play gained him consideration for the Piesman Trophy , an award given to the lineman who does the most unlineman-like thing over the course of a season.Id vote for him, because he saved my butt in terms of recovering that fumble, Liufau said. Hes someone I admire, how he worries about other people besides himself. Its easy to get caught up in football, and the success of the team. Hes a great person overall -- what he does and the things he does for people around him.Since he was little, Kelley has always extended a helping hand. Thats why he went to Haiti in 2010 to clean up after an earthquake devastated the country. Or with his father to a Peruvian village in the middle of the Amazon jungle to aid a community. His dad loves the story of how the kids in the village didnt wear shoes and so Alex went barefoot, too.Just Alex being Alex.Hes a Teddy bear -- unless somebody is trying to mess with Sefo, his father said. Then, hes more like a grizzly bear.---Online: AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
