Mancini wants win without late drama

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini expects QPR to prove just as tough this weekend as they did in last season’s final-day thriller — but without the drama.

Former City boss Mark Hughes brings his Rangers team back to the Etihad Stadium 16 weeks after the memorable conclusion to the last Barclays Premier League campaign.

City came from 2-1 behind in injury time to win 3-2 and clinch their first title for 44 years on an afternoon of high emotions on which QPR also narrowly avoid relegation.
