The centre-back has already voiced his desire to come out on top against the Citizens next month, claiming that the club have what it takes to beat the reigning champions.
December’s crucial clash of the titans already has English football fans drooling with intent, but it seems that the players have also caught up on the fever.
Manchester United may have lost the pivotal encounter back in May, but their players are determined to take back the crown that they lost.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling has been injured for most of the season but after making his comeback in recent weeks, it seems that the centre-back has set his sights on the upcoming fixture and is eager to pick up three points.

"It's going to massive game, although it won't decide the title or anything. But it could go a long way in terms of, mentally, how teams cope and whether they win or lose in the subsequent games. We'll be hoping we can go into that game all firing and give
them something to really worry about,” said the Three Lions’ International.
On the other hand, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is also confident that his troops can improve as the season goes on, especially in the defensive side of things, where they have clearly struggled.
"That's the area where hopefully we'll improve. Hopefully, we'll defend better and not lose the advantage of what we experienced last week,” Fergie was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
United now visit Norwich City today and given their rejuvenated attack, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 should not be much of a problem, even though the game is taking place at Carrow Road.
