Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini thinks that this weekend's trip to Norwich will be a harder test than the title showdown with Manchester United at the end of the month.

Roberto Mancini has claimed that the trip to Norwich City this weekend will provide a sterner test than the potential title decider against Manchester United later this month.

The Manchester City manager believes that concentration levels may not be as high at Carrow Road on Saturday because of the recent victory over West Brom.

"United is easy," he said.

"We could lose or we could win but it is an easy game. Against United or Chelsea, our concentration will be 100%.

"Norwich will be really tough because we have only had two days to recover after West Brom."

Mancini also said that midfielder Yaya Toure could be available tomorrow despite missing out on Wednesday with a knee injury picked up during last weekend's defeat at Arsenal.
