Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has implored his players to treat the remaining Premier League matches as if they are Champions League finals.
City sit two points clear of crosstown rivals Manchester United and a further five ahead of third-placed Tottenham at the top of the table and Mancini is aware of the importance of taking maximum points from as many as the enduring 13 fixtures to be played.
"Every game is like a Champions League final and for this reason we need good concentration.
"Now we have a game against Blackburn on Saturday and I think every game from now until the end will be difficult.
"When you play against a squad playing against relegation, it can be more difficult.
"Blackburn won away against Manchester United and we know they are a good team, they are strong on the counter-attack.
"They have been playing very well in the last two or three weeks. They are playing to get away from the bottom.""It is impossible to be complacent," he said ahead of tomorrow's clash with Blackburn Rovers.
