Pablo Zabaleta wants Manchester City focus

Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has urged his side to remain focused on their objectives this season.

The Citizens will be looking to win silverware in the League Cup final against Sunderland on Sunday, and Zabaleta admits that they will have to be at their best in order to avoid an upset.

"I know our fans are enjoying the season and the way we've been playing, but we need to stay completely focused because as things stand, we haven't won a thing," he told the club's official website.

"We can't relax in any game from now until the end of the campaign and we know we need to be at our best in every game we play in the final few months.

"If we want to achieve all our goals, starting on Sunday against Sunderland, we need to be at our best and be totally focused on playing our best."

City have won the League Cup twice in their history, with their last victory coming in 1976.
