Hughes meeting no grudge match - Mancini

Roberto Mancini insists this weekend's title decider against QPR is not a personal battle between him and opposite number Mark Hughes.

Hughes, who was sacked prior to Mancini's arrival at the Etihad Stadium in December 2009, takes his current side to Eastlands on Sunday needing points to be sure of avoiding relegation.
Depriving City of victory could also deny them the Barclays Premier League title but while some have suggested that might give Hughes double reason for motivation, Mancini claims the teams are all that matter.
The Italian said: "This is not important - on Sunday we play Manchester City against QPR. For me, they are a good team, they don't deserve to stay at the bottom.
"They want to do everything to stay in the Premier League and for this reason I think it will be a tough game. I don't know him [Hughes] very well but it is not Mancini against Hughes or Hughes against Mancini. It is City against QPR. One team plays for the title, the other plays [to avoid] relegation."
