Yaya Toure is embracing for what is shaping up to be a monumental week for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's team make the trip to the Riverside Stadium to take on Middlesbrough in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday in what perhaps represents their best chance of winning a trophy this season.

However, City remain alive in the Champions League and will travel to France to meet AS Monaco in the Round of 16 second leg next week with a 5-3 lead after last month's remarkable first leg.

Regarding their hopes for this season essentially resting on two matches Toure said: "Anything can happen and we have got two games now where we have to do the business.

"You just have to be focused and not believe you're already going through. We have to be careful, because those guys have played less games than us.

"We have to start on Saturday at Middlesbrough, which is going to be tough. After then it's Monaco, which is going to be very, very tough. They play very well and are clever.

"These two games coming are tough to be honest. We'll try to do our best and of course one trophy would be very welcome for us."
