Manchester City’s full back, Zabaleta believes that City deserve to be in the title race and that the team is going to make the most of the opportunity that they have been given.
City had been at the top of the league table for the most part this season, however, a slip up over the course of the recent months saw the team drop out of the top spot.
Manchester United went on to take over as being the number one team in the league, but with the team drawing their game against Everton, the point difference between City and United has been cut down to a mere three points.
What is rather interesting about this point difference, is the fact that both the teams have to face each other on Monday and should City beat their opponents, they would go on and claim top spot in the league table once again.
The two teams would be level on points, but City’s superior goal difference would see them take the lead in the race to the finish.
Zabaleta feels that City have been a little lucky to get back in the title race, but has also gone on to admit that the team deserves all the luck that they got, due to the way they played this time around.
The Argentine international, when talking about City and their will to win the league is quoted to have said: “We’ve never stopped believing in ourselves, but to be honest, after the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 defeat [on April 8] I thought our chance had probably gone”
"We've been five points clear before so we know how it feels, but United losing against Wigan and dropping points at home to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 shows that in football you have to believe, because you just never know.”
"If we have another chance for the title it's because we deserve it. We’ve kept going and we will continue to do that and see what happens."
City now need to prove that they want to win the league title, as they are set to take on United on Monday.
