| The pendulum has swung in the reds favour, only 10 to go Fergie!!!!!!!! |
"To Manchester the Title" on goal difference.
Here is a look at the run in from my point of view, one things for sure, Champions elect will be Mancunian.
Manchester United
18 March Wolverhampton Rovers (A) Manchester United Actual score 5-0 W
Most would think for the in form reds this is a easy three points and even though its at the Molineux, I tend to agree.
3 points to SAF 70
Manchester City
21 March Chelsea (H) Manchester City Actual score 2-1 W
Chelsea have had enough woes this season and then they have to go to the Etihad next, they have the quality in their squad to salvage something in Manchester but more realistically they will come away with nothing.
3 points to Mancini 69
Manchester City
24 March Stoke City (A) Actual score 1-1 D
Though City are fortunate to have a big superstar squad Roberto Mancini will find out that at the back end of the season two games in three days is a tough ask in its own but to go to a sold out Britannia Stadium & a well disciplined Tony Pulis side could get a result against the would be champions. Add a point for a draw.

Manchester United
26 March Fulham FC (H) Actual score 1-0 W
In December at Craven Cottage the reds ran away with a 5-0 drubbing (Welbeck, Nani, Giggs, Rooney & Berbatov all on the score sheet) and you can be assured the in form Fulham will have that in the back of their minds. Martin Jol would like nothing more than denting Sir Alex men's title challenge, though it won't be that one sided, United should have enough to take all three at Old Trafford.
3 points to SAF 73
Manchester City
31 March Sunderland (H) Actual score 3-3 D
The Etihad has been somewhat of a fortress and though Sunderland under Matin O'NeaI are doing well, truth be told they have been fighting above their weight. I hope I'm wrong but City to take all three points.
3 points to Mancini 73 (71)
Manchester United
2 April Blackburn (A) Actual score 2-0 W
The last time United graced Ewood Park they sealed their 19th Title but no one likes to go to Blackburn, much less United and then so close to the end of the season aswell.
Blackburn scored two at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture and they and Arsenal are the only two to have done so in the the Premier League (8-2) this season (besides Crystal Palace, Basel, Benfica & Ajax but that's in Europe and the Carling Cup) so Sir Alex knows the threat they pose. Blackburn might not win but lets be honest a draw is not a bad result for both teams.
1 point to SAF 74 (76)
Manchester United
8 April Queens Park Rangers (H) Actual score 2-0 W
Sir Alex Ferguson comes across Sparky again and Hughes has yet to get one over United as a manager, long may that continue. United at Old Trafford to take all three.
3 points to SAF 77 (79)
Manchester City
8 April Arsenal (A) Actual score 1-0 L
A resurgent Arsenal and a red hot Robin Van Persie at the Emirates make for an entertaining affair. On paper there can only be one winner but Mr Wenger might have something to say about that, and with fourth place beckoning, I expect a win for the Gunners.

Manchester United
11 April Wigan Athletic (A) Actual score 1-0 L
Wigan have the worst home record in the Premier League amassing only 9 points from a possible 42 and to add insult to injury have a negative 13 goal difference. I expect United to make up their inferior goal difference to City in this game but a win would suffice.
3 points to SAF 80 (79)
Manchester City
11 April West Brom (H) Actual score 4-0 W
Roy Hodgens team got a credible draw at home in December but I can't see them shutting out City again not in Manchester. City to win.
3 points to Mancini 76 (74)
Manchester City
14 April Norwich (A) Actual score 6-1 W
Norwich got hammered 5-1 at the Etihad in early December, though I expect them to lose I don"t think it would be by 4... maybe by 3.
3 points to Mancini 79 (77)
Manchester United
15 April Aston Villa (H) Actual score 4-0
Alex McLeish side are not the same without Darren Bent, yes their form has improved but at Old Trafford I can't see them stopping the Red Machine marching on.
3 points to SAF 83 (82)
Manchester City
22 April Wolves (A) Actual score 2-0
Wolves can expect to be beaten well, if not then just beaten. Tis "Squeaky Bum time" and City will squeak to within one point of United.
3 points to Mancini 82 (80)
Manchester United
30 April Manchester City (A)
What would be important for United is still being top when they walk out at the Etihad pitch as you wouldn't want to HAVE to win against your cross town rivals. That just might have change my initial thoughts of a draw and now I'm going for a counter attacking win for United.
3 points to SAF 86
Manchester City
30 April Manchester United (H)
City will have to win this one and I think that could, should & would play in the hands of the hands of the visiting reds. Mancini will know Sir Alex Ferguson will settle for a draw and take his chances with the remaining two fixtures to seal yet another title.

Manchester United
6 May Swansea (H)
Manchester United will be relieved they do not have to travel to Wales for this fixture as City can detest. That doesn't mean Swansea won't put up a good fight. They will though be preparing for next season in the English Premier League. United have enough incentive at Old Trafford to go out and take all three and hence be crowned CHAMPIONS (at home for a change) and
make that 20 English League Trophies and more of this http://bit.ly/zjfQQV
3 points to SAF 89
Manchester City
6 May Newcastle (A)
City should win maybe just with the hope of United maybe slipping up at Old Trafford spurring them on.
3 points to Mancini 85
Manchester United
13 May Sunderland (A)
Champions Manchester United will be in a celebratory mood and the match might just have a more meaning the home side. Sir Alex will accept a draw
1 points to SAF 90
Manchester City (H)
13 May Queens Park Rangers
As I said last season an inconsequential day, with United wrapping up the league on the penultimate weekend. Besides City winning and taking second place Spurs & Arsenal will wrap up the remaining Champions League places.
3 points Mancini 88
That's my view, let it be.
