Pellegrini refuses to disclose if keeper Hart back for Man City league game

Boss Manuel Pellegrini has refused to confirm whether Joe Hart will return to Manchester City's Premier League starting line-up against Arsenal on Saturday. The England keeper has not featured in the league since a 2-1 loss to Chelsea on 27 October.

"We will see tomorrow the 11 starters," he said.

"And, when the transfer window starts, you will have a lot of difficulties to know who the first-choice goalkeeper will be because we will have (Iker) Casillas, (Victor) Valdes, (Manuel) Neuer, (Willy) Caballero, (Asmir) Begovic.

"I think you will have to ask me about six new goalkeepers!"
