Blues focused only on derby

MANCHESTER City have already put their Champions League breakthrough to the back of their minds and are fully focused on Sunday’s derby, according to Pablo Zabaleta.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side reached the quarter–finals of Europe’s premier club competition for the first time on Tuesday by completing a comfortable victory over Dynamo Kiev.

They were set to find out their opponents this morning, but for now the Premier League offers more pressing engagements with the visit of neighbours Manchester United.

The Manchester derby always has plenty riding on it and this year it could prove key in deciding which team, if either, finishes in the top four.

City sit fourth in the table, four points ahead of sixth–placed United, with West Ham breathing down their necks in fifth.
