Willy Caballero to fight Joe Hart for Manchester City number one spot

Willy Caballero has insisted that he does not intend to play second fiddle to Joe Hart at Manchester City.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper arrived at the Etihad Stadium this summer for a reported £6m fee from manager Manuel Pellegrini's old club Malaga.

The Argentine made his debut in City's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, but is hoping for much more game time throughout the season.

"Yes I want to be number one," The Mirror quotes Caballero as saying. "I will train for the weekend for the next decision to see who starts next. Both of us will train for that chance.

"I came to fight for the number one spot. Sunday at Wembley was an important match for me – I have a chance to play."

Hart experienced a spell on the sidelines under Pellegrini last season, but worked his way back into the team before representing England at the World Cup in Brazil.
