Wigan Athletic manager Uwe Rosler expects an emotional return to Manchester City when his side take on the Premier League side in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Wigan Athletic manager Uwe Rosler believes that Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City will be an emotional occasion for him.

The 45-year-old, who will lead the current holders to the Etihad Stadium this weekend, spent four years at City during his playing career.

"I would be lying if I said no, but I have to make sure that the professional side takes over and not the emotional side," BBC Sport quotes Rosler as saying.

"That will be my personal focus on the day - to look to enjoy the occasion, but to make sure I'm absolutely concentrated on the job in hand."

The Latics clinched the trophy with a 1-0 win over City in the final last season under former manager Roberto Martinez.
