City can guarantee a third-placed finish in the Premier League if they beat Bolton on Sunday. That would ensure an automatic berth in the group stages of next season's Champions League.
However, they appear to have a battle on their hands to keep star striker Carlos Tevez, who is reported to have told Argentinian radio station Radio del Plata: "I want to leave Manchester City.
Carlos Tevez
Football has changed a lot for me and I don't know if I will even make it to the next World Cup. And that has nothing to do with whether I'm selected or not.
"I've been treated very well here and I'm grateful. I also gave my everything for the club to receive the results it has had. But I need a change of scene."
Roberto Mancini said after the midweek win over Stoke that he expected Tevez to remain at Eastlands.
"He has a five-year contract and has told us he wants to stay," the Italian said on Tuesday.
"He said that before. He never had any problem.
"I have spoken with him many times in the last 20 days. It is my opinion that Carlos will stay here next season.
"In December he had a problem. But everyone can change his opinion.
"I don't know what his representatives think. Carlos is an important player here. The feeling for him is good."
