Manchester City first-team coach David Platt has insisted the squad are fully focused on their upcoming Carling Cup date with Wolverhampton Wanderers following their heroics last weekend.
In what was a thrilling encounter which had everything at Old Trafford on Sunday, City ran out 6-1 victors over their rivals Manchester United, to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points.
However there has not been too much time to celebrate, as their Italian manager Roberto Mancini and his side look to progress to the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup, with a victory over Wolves at Molineux on Wednesday. People placing a Carling Cup bet should remember this.
Following such as historic victory over a United side which has ruled the roost for so many years in Manchester, City could be forgiven for taking time to pat themselves on the back and take in the magnitude of what they accomplished.
Platt has insisted that has not been the case and it has been business as usual at the club ahead of their upcoming League Cup encounter in the West Midlands this week. Those following the Carling Cup betting should remember this.
He said: "You have always got to put your football boots back on, it is always zero-zero when you start another game.
"It is something that will be at the back of his [Mancini's] mind, to make sure we don't let what happened at the weekend take away focus on what the position in hand is - and that is progress in the Carling Cup.
"There is a belief in them that they can do it and the manager is greedy, he wants everything.”
