Stay focused, urges Mancini

MANCHESTER City manager Roberto Mancini admits it is difficult for the Blues to stay focused on the league ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Wigan.

City's quest to take second place continues tonight against West Brom, three days after they scored only a point at Swansea.

Following the 0-0 draw, Mancini expressed his frustration: "The Swansea match was difficult as our concentration is on the final. But we need to play these games and for us it is important to win."

Mancini says it is far from ideal to play four days before a cup final, but ackanowledges that Wigan – who play Swansea tonight – are in the same position.
