Roberto Mancini<\/a> has said that the Premier League title will be decided by the result of Manchester City’s<\/a> clash with Manchester United<\/a> on April 28.<\/p>\n

The neighbouring rivals are currently level on points at the top of the table and the former Inter boss expects them to remain neck and neck throughout.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Mancini told the Daily Mirror<\/em>: \u201cIf we are strong enough, I think it will be decided with the game at home [against United] probably.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on top, we are happy and know we have another 21 games.”<\/p>\n

After a blockbusting start to the season, including an incredible 6-1 thrashing of United at Old Trafford, City have stuttered recently, drawing with Liverpool and West Brom and suffering defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson’s players have gained form since that derby day demolition, winning seven of their eight Premier League games, with consecutive 5-0 scorelines helping to close the goal difference gap between the two clubs.<\/p>\n
