The Manchester City manager reveals that his team’s loss to Swansea City at the past weekend means that Manchester United are now favourite to win the title as they have the wind at their back at the top of the English Premier
League table...

Ferguson’s men leapfrogged City to the top of the table and now have a one point advantage over the Citizens courtesy of their two goal win over West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford.
Manchester United now have an easy run of results till they face off against Manchester City at the end of April, 2012. On the other hand, City are scheduled to play against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Stoke in their next few matches,
all these encounters will be a test of Manchester City’s nerves now as they chase United.
Both the teams have to first deal with their Europa League troubles in mid-week as Manchester United will travel away to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 to face Athletic Bilbao and overturn a 3-2 loss that they suffered at Old Trafford at the hands of the
Spanish underdogs whereas Manchester City till take on Sporting Lisbon at home and overturn a one goal deficit from the first leg.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 said in his comments, “The title is long, but clearly, at this moment, United’s confidence is better but what is important is to be there at the end, and this is what we want. We have two problems – the injuries to key
players, such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joleon-Lescott-c18941, and the fact we play every three days.”
He added, “We want to try to win both competitions. If I play with a full team, it's a problem," he said in apparent frustration. If I don't play with a full team, it's a problem. At this moment, everything is a problem, but I
didn't know they would get injured in that game. It's normal that after seven months with you playing every three days that you need to give some players a rest."
