    Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini isn't counting any chickens yet, despite his side's 3-1 lead from the first-leg.

    "The most important thing is to know we have not yet qualified. We play against a team who know how to play this type of game,"

    "We're not going to play with the score we got in Kiev, we're just going to say it's 0-0 and try to win the game."

    It is a big night for Manchester City as they look to advance into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time. They hold a 3-1 lead over Dynamo Kiev after the first leg.

    But goalkeeper Joe Hart thinks his team can go a lot further - and win the Champions League.

    "It's going to be difficult. It's a really difficult tournament, but we've got to believe we can win it otherwise there's no point in turning up," said the England goalkeeper.

    "You could look at it as pressure, but it's something really exciting.

    "I can only speak for myself, but it's really exciting being in this situation, going into the last-16 game with a good option of going through, doing something I haven't done before and creating history for this club."

    Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has hailed Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger as a "chosen one" - despite the ongoing speculation as to his future.

    Ahead of the Champions League second leg round-of-16 tie, and talking about Wenger's near two decades at the London club, Enrique said: "It means he is a very good coach, no one doubts about that and only the chosen ones can be such a long time in one club - it is because of their good quality.

    "I really don't have a deep knowledge to assess the situation of Mr Wenger, but every time there are more coaches out there and more competition and possibilities - the number of teams is always the same but there are more coaches,.

    "That is why it is difficult to be 20 years in the same position, and that is why he has done a good job and is at a good level."

    Scotland will be without forwards David Denton and Jonny Gray for their final Six Nations match against Ireland.

    Gray has been ruled out by the Scotland medical team after a scan showed the lock had suffered a partial tear to a pectoral muscle during Sunday's win against France.

    And Denton has returned to Bath for further treatment on the groin problem the back-row forward suffered ahead of Scotland's previous victory in Italy.

    Stand-off Finn Russell suffered concussion during Sunday's win over France and his condition is being monitored ahead of Saturday's clash in Dublin.

    It was heartbreak last year at Cheltenham for Annie Power, but not this time. The favourite, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh, wins by five lengths to win the Champion Hurdle.

    Annie Power looked on course for a win at Cheltenham last year in the OLBG Mares Hurdle until falling at the last and owner Rich Ricci is in tears when grabbed by BBC Radio 5 live.

    "It's just spectacular," says Ricci. "Sport offers such a chance for redemption, it's brilliant."

    Trainer Willie Mullins adds: "That's what racing is about. I thought it was fantastic, a superb performance from the mare. It was Ruby's plan and he told me what he was going to do and he did it."
