LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says the faltering Premier League side's season is far from a "disaster", but his 100th game in charge is unlikely to be a celebratory occasion after he conceded defeat in the title race on Friday.

City host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday in the Chilean's centenary match, but with six points separating his side from leaders Chelsea, who have the added cushion of a game in hand, the mood at the Etihad stadium is sombre.
