(Reuters) - Samir Nasri has warned his Manchester City team mates that failure to beat Sunderland in Sunday's Capital One Cup final could derail a season that currently has them in contention for four trophies.

City beat Stoke 1-0 on Saturday to keep them third in the Premier League, three points off leaders Chelsea but with a game in hand, and they have a date with Wigan Athletic in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, the team that beat them in the final of that competition last season.
