27-year-old Joe Hart determined to maintain his number one position in Manchester City
Caballero, a £4.4m summer signing from Malaga, is set to make his debut in Sunday's Community Shield against Arsenal at Wembley.
Pellegrini said: "I have two number one goalkeepers. I have two number one full-backs, on the right and left, and in other positions."
When asked how Caballero is settling at City, Pellegrini said: “Very well - he is a very good goalkeeper, I know him from Malaga, and I think he is very happy here.
"I am sure Willy will be very important for us but I also continue thinking we have the best goalkeeper in England in Joe Hart.
"Top teams need two players for each position because we have to play so many games during the year.
"The best way to have the highest performance from the players is for it to be very competitive between them."
