    Oldham Athletic need nine more victories if they are to avoid relegation from league One, according to boss John Sheridan.

    The Latics are 23rd in the table and eight points from safety, but Sheridan believes his target is "achievable".

    He told BBC Radio Manchester: "I think if I can get a couple of players in, get them playing the way I want to play in different systems, and trying to get a little bit more out of the players that are here we can do it."

    Stoke will be missing captain Ryan Shawcross (back), but forwards Marko Arnautovic and Bojan Krkic could start.

    Geoff Cameron (ankle) is still not fit.

    Manuel Pellegrini stresses he will keep rotating his squad, and has urged his side's defenders to avoid sloppy mistakes.

    "If we want to be involved in all the competitions, we need the whole squad," says Pellegrini. "I will try to make some changes and refresh the team. It is the only way to continue.

    "I don't think we are defending badly. At West Ham the first goal was very unlucky. I wasn't happy with the second but the only save Joe Hart had to make was the free-kick.

    "We do need to concentrate more away from home because we are conceding goals."

    Sunderland are stepping up their interest in Swansea striker Andre Ayew as manager Sam Allardyce attempts to bolster his squad for the fight against relegation.

    The Black Cats first registered their interest in the 26-year-old Ghana international earlier this month, but were swiftly rebuffed.

    However, PA Sport reports there has been further contact between the clubs, with suggestions of Sunderland making a £10m offer plus Italian striker Fabio Borini

    Some more quotes from Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who talks about the Premier League title race.  

    "It is very close," says Pellegrini. "Nobody can take an important advantage. From now until the end it will be very close. It will take fewer points to win it than previous seasons.

    "Maybe we will play more games than everyone else but I want to be involved in all competitions - it is better for the club and the squad.

    "From 27 January to 27 February we have to play nine or ten games if we have a replay (in the FA Cup). But I prefer that than being eliminated."
