We’ve also seen Spurs play a starring role in the campaign, but they’ve recently fallen away and it now looks as if it will be a two-horse race for the title.

The Red Devils are currently four points clear of their neighbours but have played a game more and with the teams still to meet at the Etihad, there is plenty to play for.

Big things were expected of Roberto Mancini’s side this season, but it appears that their lack of experience of winning titles is starting to bite them after a few disappointing results at both home and aboard.

The Citizens lost last time out in the league at Swansea, with a number of pundits pointing to the lack of leadership in the side in the absence of talismanic skipper Vincent Kompany.

However, they could be handed a major this week as its believed that former captain Carlos Tevez is set to return to the squad for Wednesday’s crucial home match against a resurgent Chelsea (City 4/5, draw 12/5, Chelsea 11/4).

The Argentine has been out of action since his much published row with manager Mancini but after missing out on a move in January, he has apologised for his behaviour and is now nearing full fitness.

Tevez has previously won the title with when he was at Old Trafford and his ability and experience could yet play a massive role in the destination of the Premier League trophy.

Everyone knows that Tevez likes to do things in his own unique style, so don’t be surprised if he pops up with a late winner on Wednesday (City 7/1 to win 2-1)

On the other hand United (4/9 Premier League outright) are absolutely flying and despite crashing out of the Europa League on Thursday, look to be full of confidence after their 5-0 win at Wolves on Sunday.

As already mentioned, they more than have the experience of winning titles and despite a number of disappointing results this season, seem to be coming into their own at just the right time.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side appear to have the easiest run-in, playing a number of the teams vying to avoid relegation and apart from possibly the derby with City on 30th April, will be expecting to win all of their remaining fixtures.

The Red Devils began this season with a fresh outlook after buying a number of young players in the summer. However, it’s been the old heads who have been impressing recently and they will be looking to the experience of the likes Paul Scholes to see them through to their second successive league win.

Whatever happens, it’s sure to be a thrilling end to the season, but with their brilliant history in the competition, United should just edge it.
