Bianchi targets City chance

Manchester City striker Rolando Bianchi has vowed to play his way back into Sven-Goran Eriksson's first-team plans.
The £8.8million summer signing has started just three Premier League matches following his arrival from Reggina.
Bianchi scored on his City debut in an opening day 2-0 victory at West Ham, but since then had gradually slipped down the pecking order at the City of Manchester Stadium.
However, despite rumours of a January move back to Italy, the 24-year-old striker is determined to prove his worth to Eriksson.
"Eriksson told me he needs a quick striker," Bianchi told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Now I'm not in the group of players who are useful and I don't know if, on a tactical level, something will change soon.
"I can only work and change the situation only with engagement and by taking advantage of the chances I'll have.
"I'll do everything to allow the coach to change his mind."
