LONDON. — Pablo Zabaleta has warned his Manchester City teammates not to underestimate Blackburn in tonight’s FA Cup third round replay.
City face Championship side Rovers at Eastlands after underlining their Premier League title credentials with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday.
That gritty success at St James’ Park showcased City’s attacking power and their defensive tenacity and erased some of the questions about their spluttering form away from Manchester this season.
Back on home turf, where they have won all 10 of their league fixtures this season, Manuel Pellegrini’s team are firm favourites to see off Blackburn and advance to a fourth round tie against Watford or Bristol City. — AFP.
