Mancini calm at centre of City storm

It was another busy day at Manchester City yesterday as Roberto Mancini prepared to make Edin Dzeko his latest big-money signing, readied his side for a trip to third-placed Arsenal tonight and had to deal with another training ground bust-up.

The Italian began the day by attempting to ease any title pressure on his players ahead of the most important match of City’s season so far, labelling his side as the least likely of the five contenders to lift the title.
