tomorrow's friendly.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has defiantly outlined his confidence in his side's title
chances despite a post-Christmas wobble that has seen rivals United go four points clear at the
summit.
City do have a game in hand on their near neighbours – against Chelsea at the Etihad on Wednesday
– and Mancini believes his side will go on and lift only their third ever top flight title,
despite an increasing number of doubters.

Can Chelsea Topple Manchester United? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Even though Chelsea failed to put pressure on Manchester United towards the end of last season
for the title. Chances are that they will this season. They're the only team that are thought to be
able to pose a challenge to Alex Ferguson's men.
Disappointing results that Arsenal acquired in the latest Emirates Cup raises the doubts on
their title chances in the new season as one of their important players, Jack Wilshere, admitted
that the Gunners might need new players in order to win something this summer.
Wilshere understand that his club has never been associated with a spending spree attitude, but

Manchester City have officially went out from another competition, this time it's the Carling
Cup after Roberto Mancini's side only managed to get a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the
competition's second leg, while getting beaten 1-0 in the first meeting.
Mancini himself was very disappointed at that failure but once again he put the blame on
refereeing decision instead of his team's own performance, which the manager though already
pleasing enough.
