Uwe Rosler: 'No pressure on Wigan Athletic against Manchester City'

Wigan Athletic manager Uwe Rosler has insisted that his side will go into Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City with no pressure on their shoulders.

The Latics are the holders of the Cup having beaten City 1-0 in the final last year, but despite this Rosler is treating the match as a "bonus game".

"We only started talking this week about it - I think it was important prior to that that we focused on the league," Sky Sports News quotes Rosler as saying. "And now, off the back of such a good month, I have said to the boys that this is a bonus game.

"Not that we will take it easy, but we will go into it with no pressure whatsoever. The pressure lies on City.

"We have already achieved a wonderful cup run - it is only the third time the club has been in the sixth round in our history, and doing that after last year's win has made it even more special."

Rosler's Wigan are currently sixth in the Championship, occupying the final playoff place.
