Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\nCity secured a place for the FA Cup final against Stoke City last Saturday in a Manchester derby which saw off Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s side and took the club closer to landing silverware after a 35 year wait.<\/p>\n
However the Italian boss has called for his team to keep their feet on the ground at Ewood Park to avoid a repeat of the disappointing performance in the recent 3-0 loss to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Blackburn have not won in 10 games and will be looking to end their woes at home against City to help avoid the increasing chance of relegation.<\/p>\n
Mancini told The Mirror<\/em>: “It has been a good week but now Manchester United are in the past. We should forget it.<\/p>\n“Now we need to focus only only on the next four games before the final. It is impossible to think of the final at this moment.<\/p>\n
“We have games against Blackburn and West Ham, teams fighting against relegation. These matches are very dangerous.<\/p>\n
“If we think we can go to Blackburn and play 50% it is better we stay at home and not spend the money to go there.<\/p>\n
“If we have the same focus as against United, the same concentration
we will win a lot of games.<\/p>\n
“That is important because we have lost many points in the last month. We must remember what happened at Liverpool.<\/p>\n
“We must give 100% because Blackburn are a strong team at home and it will be a very hard game.”<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has asked his team to be cautious and not complacent ahead of the game at Blackburn on Monday as a win would leave them four points ahead of fourth-place chasers Tottenham.<\/p>\n
City have secured a place for the FA Cup final against Stoke City last Saturday in a Manchester derby which saw off Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s side and brings the club closer to landing silverware after a 35 years.<\/p>\n
However, the Italian boss has called for his team to stay down to earth at Ewood Park to avoid being outplayed in the same way they lost 3-0 to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Blackburn have not won a single match out of 10 games and will be looking to end their woes at home against City to avoid the drop zone.<\/p>\n
Mancini said: “It has been a good week but now Manchester United are in the past. We should forget it.<\/p>\n
“Now we need to focus only only on the next four games before the final. It is impossible to think of the final at this moment.<\/p>\n
“We have games against Blackburn and West Ham, teams fighting against relegation. These matches are very dangerous.<\/p>\n
