Manchester City are fourth in the Premier League and six points behind leaders Chelsea, but have two games in hand on Jose Mourinho's team plus Liverpool and Arsenal in second and third respectively

No club has ever won all three domestic trophies in one season, and Pellegrini thinks winning the Capital One Cup will give his side "a lot of confidence"

Manchester City have now won the League Cup thrice. Earlier they beat West Bromwich Albion in the 1970 final and Newcastle United in 1976.
Manchester City were also losing finalists against Wolves in 1974

Sunderland had fought hard, and deserved great credit, but in the end individual quality told.
