Yaya Toure targets FA Cup success

Yaya Toure says that he and his Manchester City teammates are determined to win the FA Cup this season.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has said that he wants to win the FA Cup this season.

City will host Watford in the third round of the competition on Saturday.

"I'll be keeping up with what is happening while I'm away [at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast] and I'm hoping I can take part in the FA Cup on my return," he told City's official website.

"It's a very special competition for me because it's where our journey as a team began. It's where the trophies started and was our first achievement and it's definitely a completion we would love to win again.

"I'll never forget scoring the winning goals in the semi-final and final in 2011 so the FA Cup will always mean a great deal to me on a personal level."

Toure added that their failure to progress to the Champions League last 16 this season will give them added motivation in the FA Cup.

"We are out of Europe now so it's important we focus on the competitions we can still win," he said.

"It's vital we do this because we want to win more and more cups for our fans and I think they would really enjoy another trip to Wembley."

City won the FA Cup in the 2010-11 season.
