POACHERS: Pellegrini has backed his strikers to find the net against Wigan [GETTY]
The Citizens are looking to build on their Capital One Cup success by exacting revenge tomorrow against holders Wigan, who beat Roberto Mancini's men 1-0 in last year's final at Wembley.

Aguero and Negredo have amassed 49 goals between them this season, and despite just recovering from injuries, the pair are set to start when the Lactics visit the Etihad.
Pellegrini said: "In that moment (earlier in the season), it was very productive for the team – and I hope in the future it can be again.
"But in other moments when Sergio was injured, Negredo played very well at that time.
"It's important to have important strikers. Strikers also live from the goals they score. Alvaro will return to his normal performance. He will continue scoring goals."
