Manchester United defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling believes that his side have an advantage over their cross-town rivals due to their superior experience and recent form.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men have been presented with a golden opportunity to re-kindle their title hopes after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Despite the best efforts of the Citizens, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 scored arguably the goal of the season.
Yaya Toure leveled things with a similarly blinding effort, but it proved to be fruitless as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 and his troops had to settle with a single point despite returning to the top of the table.
United now take on Fulham, with a win taking them three points clear of their bitter rivals and ever closer to an unprecedented 20th title.
Ferguson has masterminded the rise of the Red Devils and despite Sheikh Mansour’s billions being pumped into the Etihad Stadium, it’s a testament to the Scot’s abilities that he has kept the Premier League champions head and shoulders above the rest.
Now that the season is drawing to a close, the mind games are beginning to pop up and United youngster Chris Smalling believes that his side can win big this year because they have experience in bundles as well as momentum on their side.
"We may have an edge over City at the minute. Experience is one thing, momentum is another. We are really building that at the minute. Those are the two things that can really help us push on."
"That it's City just spurs us on even more. They're making a lot of noise over there and we don't them to win it. You see the table a lot and people are talking about all the fixtures coming up so it is always very much on our minds.”
"And the fact we are training four or five days a week for each game builds them up even more in the sense of just how important they are,” the former Maid stone United man was quoted as saying.
With the campaign edging towards the conclusion, both City and United are battling it out for the title, but given how things are going; the trophy is likely to remain at Old Trafford for the time being.
