The Italian tactician sets up the English Premier League title target for Manchester City as players return from African Cup of Nations duty...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini has come out and said that Manchester City need to win eleven out of their remaining thirteen Premier League encounters to take the title to the Etihad Stadium in the next couple of months. Mancini whose team have
had a shady away record this season are still at the top of the Premier League table as they won their latest away encounter to Aston Villa by a solitary goal. City had a tough time against Villa at Villa Park but in the end, they came through with all three
points and regained the top spot in the Premier League table from Manchester United.
Untied also won their recent league encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 by two goals to one as the title race heats up. Both the teams are set to face off in the later stages of April at the Etihad stadium but the title race might be over
by then if United drop anymore points in the run in. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kolo-c21278 Toure returning from international action to City, the Citizens have a good chance of wrapping up the league title.
Mancini said, "We know December and January were difficult months. We had players injured, suspended or away. All these reasons. But now we are in February and we are still on top. Next week we will have all the players, which
is very important for us. But to stay on top with Manchester United and Tottenham shows we are very strong.”
He added, "We've 13 games from now until the end (of the season), and we know if we want to win the league we have to win 11 or 12, if possible." The Italian manager also shed light on the Carlos Tevez saga as he said, "I don't
have any problem and the club doesn't have any problem. Finish. It's up to him. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 knows everything; he knows the situation. I spoke with Carlos one week after Munich. He knows everything.”
City will hope that they can continue their fine run of form and retain the first place spot in the Premier League rankings especially as the season winds down to a close. United have a few tough games left in their schedule which
includes an away trip to Tottenham as well as a match against Manchester City
