http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s team. Manchester City are already under
quite a lot of pressure as their chances of progressing to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League took a massive hit when they lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 in their latest group stage encounter.
 Jones has been in the spotlight himself of late due to his rise to fame at Manchester United since his transfer to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window. The former Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello
and Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Franco-c14050 Baresi.
However Jones was under scrutiny when his own goal allowed Benfica to take an unlikely lead against Manchester United in their recent UEFA Champions League match. In the end, United managed to secure a draw but Jones is still confident
that his team will close down the gap on their cross city rivals in the English Premier League. City face a tough tie this weekend when they travel away to Anfield to take on Liverpool who defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 on the weekend with a fantastic performance at Stamford
Bridge.
 Jones said in his latest interview, "City have done fantastically this season. I am not taking anything away from them. But they do have some tough games coming up. I don't care how good you are, teams can be put under pressure.
This is a difficult league to be in. It would be nice to reach top spot by Christmas. But it is not essential. Don't be writing us off if we are not there by January."
Manchester United will have a good chance to close down the gap between themselves and City as they take on Newcastle United on the weekend before Manchester City play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. If United win their match against the magpies then
they will reduce the five point gap to just two points.
