City worthy of Champions League, says Mancini

Roberto Mancini believes his Manchester City side is on course to meet its targets for the season after closing in on Champions League qualification with a 2-1 win over West Ham.

Mancini has faced questions about his future throughout the campaign after seeing his team slip out of contention for the Premier League title and get knocked out of the Europa League quarterfinals by Dynamo Kiev.

But with the chance to end City's 35-year trophy drought in the FA Cup final against Stoke on May 14, his team is also now seven points clear of Liverpool and Tottenham in the league.
