Manchester City will prioritise the Champions League above their FA Cup fifth-round tie at Chelsea on Sunday, according to boss Manuel Pellegrini.

City play the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match at Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday, four days before the Capital One Cup final.

The Chilean said: "The priority is always the next game, but we must make an exception because of many injuries."

Pellegrini added: "We have just 13 players available to play and have to play the Champions League on Wednesday. We'll see the best team we can play on Sunday.

"I always try to play with a strong team in every competition. They are all important but we must prioritise the Champions League."



Chelsea, who are currently 12th in the Premier League, played their Champions League first-leg tie away to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

Interim manager Guus Hiddink, who won the FA Cup during his previous spell in charge in 2009, said: "We have a serious approach to the FA Cup."

With one of the best funded academies out there I have little sympathy with the Man City boss whining that he only has 13 players.  What is the point of investing millions in an academy if you act like they don't exist?  Play them and stop looking for excuses you coward.

Don't think he is whining, more stating that with a load of injuries he'll be playing a weakened team, which will include some academy kids I'm sure.

He's a big club coward.  If you invest millions on the youth team and actively poach other teams youth products then don't be so pathetic as to moan when you have to use them.

You're gonna have to enlighten me as to what a big club coward is!

I don't see any moaning, just him saying that due to injuries and more important games on the horizon, that it will be a weakened XI at Chelsea on Sunday.

Also unsure as to who we've ''poached'', though our definitions of poaching might be miles apart.
