Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says Mario Balotelli just needs to keep doing what he's doing.

The maverick striker has been in fine goalscoring form of late and recently earned praise from Italy coach Cesare Prandelli after finding the net against Poland.

Mancini said: "He is still making great progress, he needs to keep improving.

"He needs to keep on doing what he is doing and needs continuity in what he is doing.

"We hope he can show what he can do tomorrow."
