Manchester United's 12-point lead at the top of the table could be 15 by the time City take on lowly Aston Villa on Monday.
And while boss Mancini was delighted with last weekend's 2-0 win over Chelsea, he insists it will mean nothing if they do not beat struggling teams too.
"For this reason it is important to beat Aston Villa and afterwards continue to go. The season is not finished. It is impossible we can think it is finished now.
But after his side memorably overturned an eight-point gap in the final six games last season, he knows long odds can be beaten.
"When you are 12 points behind it is normal that if you lose or you don't win and Manchester United win the next game it will be difficult.
