Manchester City manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 and reiterated that the reigning champions will come out on top once more.
The Italian tactician will surely be l*****g his lips at the prospect of lifting the coveted trophy in May, a feat which seemed impossible only weeks before.
United were ahead by a huge 8 point margin and it looked as if the title had eluded the Citizens by an inch. However the Red Devils lost against Wigan and although were leading against Everton yesterday, succumbed to the pressure and drew 4-4.
The gap at the top has been brought down to three points, meaning that if City win their next three games they will be crowned the champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
While it looks certain to be a difficult period for Mancini’s troops, they have an added advantage of playing the Manchester derby at home, which is undoubtedly a must win situation for both Premier League giants.
However the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss claims that the title is still out of reach for his side and refused to acknowledge that the trophy could end up at the Etihad, instead reiterating that the celebrations were going to be on the other side of the City.
“I think that United is in the top, they have three more points and after the derby they have two easy games against Swansea and Sunderland,” he said.
“Only one team can win this title. It is not in our hands, we have three points less. After the derby, we play two difficult games against Newcastle, who fight for the Champions League, and QPR, who fight against relegation.”
“If United win 10-0 against Swansea City and 2-0 against Sunderland and we win 1-0, 1-0, and 1-0, they will win the title," the Blues coach was quoted as saying.
While Mancini does not consider his side favourites for their first title in 44 years, the fact remains that momentum is behind them and they could potentially end the race when they host the most hotly anticipated Manchester derby in English history.
