LONDON — The destiny of the Premier League title will be firmly in Manchester City's hands if they beat leaders Manchester United at home today, United manager Alex Ferguson has said. "I think City probably would win it," Ferguson told the club's website yesterday. "Yes. I think, with two games left, they'd have a great chance."
Ferguson said he was pondering 'two or three options' in team selection to face City, who have won three in a row. "I just know what we want to do in the game. We've got enough experience and pace in the team, enough good footballers and determination," Ferguson added. "I think we'll be alright in that respect. The game could be decided by anything, I hope it's not by a bad decision, that's for sure.
"There's focus on both teams to make it a good game. It's important as we're representing the city all over the world. (UEFA president) Michel Platini is making an effort to come to the game. It creates a certain occasion and we want to represent ourselves the right way."
Mancini said the pressure was all on United. "We don't have any pressure because we don't have anything to lose. For them, I think a draw would be a good result...but I don't think they have this mentality. It's difficult for us to play for a draw, we want to win always, also when we play against a better team than us, like against United." — Reuters
