Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini believes West Bromwich Albion have been playing the best football in the country. The Baggies have made a solid start in the Barclays Premier League under new boss Steve Clarke and are just a point behind Mancini's third-placed champions.
Mancini said: "I should say many compliments to him (Clarke) because he has done a very good job until now.
"In this moment, I think West Bromwich is the team that has played the best football, so tomorrow for us it will be a tough game.
"It is always difficult, this game after the international break. Today is the first date we can work together.
"We need to think and we need to put everything we have into tomorrow's game because it will be very difficult. After that we think about the other games."
