Sunderland boss Gus Poyet expects Manchester City backlash

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet believes that Manchester City will be motivated to win Sunday's League Cup final at Wembley after losing the FA Cup final last season.

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has admitted that Manchester City could have an extra motivation to beat his side in Sunday's League Cup final, after losing at Wembley last season.

City were beaten by Wigan Athletic during their last visit to the stadium for the FA Cup final in May.

"It's going to be extremely difficult. We are aware of Manchester City - the players they have, the opportunity, what happened to them last year in the FA Cup," Clubcall quotes Poyet as saying.

"There are plenty of things that are there for them to go and use this opportunity to show the quality team they are. We are going to try our best. We're going to try our best to make the Sunderland fans very proud."

The Black Cats last reached the League Cup final in 1985, when they were beaten by Norwich City.
