Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has said that the club face a "problematic" run of games to end to the season.

The Italian, whose side have a two-point lead in the title race over rivals Manchester United, insists that each team in the league is fighting to achieve a specific goal at this point in this season.

"Each game from now until the end will be promlematic," he told the club's official website.

"We are against teams that are fighting relegation, for the Champions League or for the title.

"Now we have this game against Swansea. Swansea have done fantastic and are having a good season, but we want to continue to win."

The Citizens beat Swansea 4-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
