Pellegrini: Playing for a draw at Sevilla would be a risk

Manchester City could seal qualification from Champions League Group D with a win in Sevilla and Manuel Pellegrini will not play for a draw.

Manuel Pellegrini suggested that he will not deviate from an attacking approach as his Manchester City side chases a third consecutive Champions League win at Sevilla.

City has come from behind to win each of its last two Group D matches 2-1 in injury time against Borussia Monchengladbach and the Liga side.

The patchy nature of both performances, during which the Premier League leader displayed familiar frailties without the ball on the European stage, increased calls for City to take a more pragmatic Champions League approach.
