LONDON (Reuters) - A dejected Manuel Pellegrini said it would be "difficult" for Manchester City to catch leaders Chelsea at the top of the Premier League after they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Champions City could have closed the deficit to two points with the west London side playing Tottenham Hotspur in the Capital One (League) Cup final.
