Manchester City midfielder James Milner reveals that the club have been studying Malaga this summer.

Manchester City midfielder James Milner has revealed that he and his teammates have been studying Manuel Pellegrini's former club Malaga.

Pellegrini, who guided the Spanish outfit to the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, took charge of City this summer.

Milner told City TV: "So far we have worked very hard, more on the defensive aspects of the game and changing how he wants us to set up as a team.

"It will take a bit of time to get everyone on the same page as to how he wants us to play and get that, but once it clicks - I think you can see the jobs he has done at his previous clubs.

"We have watched videos of his previous teams doing it to get prepared and see exactly how he wants things doing, as well as doing it on the training field."

City finished second in the Premier League last season.
