Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips says their FA Cup tie with Scunthorpe United remains a top priority.
City are chasing a top four placing this season and also have the second-leg of their Carling Cup semifinal with Manchester United to consider.
But SWP told City's website: "There is always an excitement around the third round draw when the Premier League clubs join the competition and ties like ours on Sunday are what make it extra special.
"The fans love it too, the atmosphere builds with every round and I am sure that Scunthorpe's ground will be packed for our visit."
