Man United star warns Manchester City over title hopes

City had been beaten 4-3 by Liverpool in a dramatic game on Sunday, Pep Guardiola's side's first domestic defeat this season.

And Guardiola will be confident that his high-flying City side can claim all three points on Saturday against Rafa Benitez's men.

"I remember in my first season (2011-12) we were eight points clear, absolutely cruising, (everyone thought there was) no way we'd let the lead slip, and we lost it on the final day".

"They are first so we always want to catch them, so it was good that they lost, so for us we have to think about ourselves. You never know. It happened in 2012 to us so why not?"

City will be desperate to return to winning ways in the Premier League on the weekend after neighbours Manchester United closed the gap at the top of the table.

Aston Martin to recall over 5000 vehicles in US
Last week, Aston Martin announced it was recalling more than 1,500 vehicles in China due to increased security risks. So if their drivers haven't applied the parking brake, they could roll away unexpectedly.

That was an embarrassing performance from a club of United's stature and I can understand why their fans were ashamed of what they saw, with Liverpool's display against the same opponents showing what is possible with a little ambition. Their lead after they had played 23 games of that season was just six points, with Leeds United second in the table. City would need a huge collapse and United would need a near-perfect second half of the season with 15 games remaining.

But Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum admits they will not be title contenders until they learn how to kill off matches. But it's a tie they could come through. "That is the biggest thing we have to change if we want to compete for the title with teams like City", Wijnaldum said.

However, Chelsea had not won in their last four games and had failed to score in three before Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay victory on penalties over Norwich City following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
