Edin Dzeko says there's no chance he'll step aside at Manchester City for fit-again Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli, 20, has missed the last seven games with a knee problem, but will return to training this week.
And he is aiming to make his comeback in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford next week.
But Dzeko is determined to hold on to the shirt and has set his sights on firing City to some overdue silverware this season.
He said: "My first goal was something special.
"It's important for me to be fit, then it's up to the coach. But I want to play in every game if that's possible."
