The pundit claims that under the Chilean, Manchester City have failed to progress and address the issues with their ageing squad.

He told BBC Sport: "I think there has been complacency, it is an ageing squad and the recruitment after wining the league under both Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini has been very poor.

"Man City is about the here and now - and that is why I can see the manager losing his job at the end of the season.

"City have gone backwards. No question."

And they go into today's (4.00pm) kick off with local rivals Manchester United knowing a win is must.
