Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says he is glad that goalkeeper Joe Hart is cocky City face West Bromwich Albion this afternoon but Mancini feels this game should have been played tomorrow as it is not scheduled for television. The Italian manager wanted his English players to have an extra day's rest following the delayed game in Poland in midweek after which they returned to the country a day later than planned, following a hard-earned draw on a soggy pitch. Mancini also has to deal with three hamstring injuries as David Silva and Jack Rodwell picked up problems during the international break, while Javi Garcia is suffering from the same complaint. He said: "I think that sometimes in this situation we can move our game from Saturday to Sunday, it is easy because we can play at 3 o'clock. I have my opinion about the officials. I'm not disappointed. I think that sometimes we can do this. It is possible, we are not on TV because we are playing at three o'clock on Saturday. I am worried because for Joe, Joleon [Lescott] and James Milner this is the first day they can train and tomorrow we play. Now after the international break the game is very difficult and we need to think and we need to put everything we have into it. West Brom manager Steve Clarke believes City are favourites to retain their Premier League title. West Brom have won their opening four home league games - their best start since 1919 in the top flight. Clarke said: "City have shown that they're at the same level and it's up to everyone else to catch up with them."
