Mancini braced for "tough" Norwich test

Roberto Mancini believes Manchester City's trip to Norwich will be harder than the derby clash with Manchester United later this month.

City cut United's lead at the top to five points on Wednesday and will slash it to two if they win at Carrow Road. However, Mancini is wary about the trip to East Anglia which comes just three days after the win over West Brom. The City boss told reporters: "United is easy. "We could lose or we could win but it is an easy game. Against United or Chelsea, our concentration will be 100%. Norwich will be really tough because we have only had two days to recover after West Brom." It seemed Mancini had his tongue firmly lodged in his cheek as he delivered the comments.
