Manuel Pellegrini: "Twenty teams can win the Premier League, and I really mean that.
"We start off with nil points, and we will see who starts well, but I would not rule out any club at this moment ... Newcastle included.
"Then every week we will see which teams are stronger than the others. For me, the way I think, all of them can win it.
"Of course, I have a lot of confidence. We know we have a strong squad.
"Other teams also have a strong team but I am sure we are going to have a very successful season."
