John Stones admitted Manchester City never saw their quadruple-shattering defeat at Wigan coming. City's hopes of completing a clean sweep of four trophies were ended in dramatic fashion on Monday. While the post-match headlines were dominated by crowd disorder and a confrontation between the two managers, back in Manchester the Premier League leaders need to pick themselves up quickly for Sunday's League Cup final.

Asked if he agreed City were always destined to lose a key game at some point, defender Stones said: "No. I think we've had that mindset that we can win every game and that's probably why we have gone on such a good winning streak and not lost.
"I think it hurts even more that we've lost because we're not used to doing it. "We have only lost twice before this season. It hurts. The feeling of losing is never nice for anyone, but I think we take it to heart a bit more. We felt we should have got something out of the game, at least taken the game back to the Etihad. The overall feeling is massively disappointed. "It is a difficult one to take. They hardly had any chances on goal," Stones added.
