Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that revenge was not on the agenda during his side's 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round win over Chelsea on Saturday.

The victory comes 12 days after the Citizens had gone down 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's men in the Premier League.

"It wasn't revenge that drove us - of course we don't want to lose two games to Chelsea at home," he told reporters.

"Today we played very well in all senses. Defending, in possession, attacking - Chelsea didn't have any chances to shoot and that was important for us."

Pellegrini's side will discover who they face in the last-eight stage of the tournament later on Sunday.
