David Platt has said that the title is Manchester United’s to lose ahead of what could be a defining Sunday in the race for the Premier League. Victory at Old Trafford could see United go eight points clear at the top before City even step foot on the pitch at the Emirates in their clash against Arsenal. Mancini also remains bullish, although has conceded that the Citizens have made far too many mistakes in recent weeks.
Elsewhere in the news Liverpool are reportedly considering selling Andy Carroll in a cut price summer deal; Tottenham will face competition to snap up Adebayor, while Roy Hodgson wants an England clause in his new West Brom contract.
