Its for that reason that there are some slight nerves because City at this moment in time appear to be holding their own at the business end of the season with once again claiming 3 points yesterday with a 2-0 win over Bolton to put the pressure back on to United ahead of a massive game with Tottenham today at White Hart Lane.
Since December and the hectic times of the Christmas period United have picked up 31 points from a possible 39 which has included fantastic wins over the likes of Norwich last week with Ryan Giggs scoring in the last minute on his 900th appearance for the club, a valuable point was claimed at Stamford Bridge after being 3-0 down at halftime with Javier Hernandez finishing off the comeback to make it 3-3 and then there was the intense clash between United and Liverpool where United managed to win 2-1 despite all the various emotions happening that day.
Manchester City themselves have racked up 31 out of a possible 42 points after yesterdays game meaning that if United lost today the sides would have exactly the same records since then leaving them 5 points off the pace. But with Uniteds league form in 2012, one loss, one draw and 5 wins and there incredible record against Tottenham I can see us definitely getting a result today. Spurs have failed to beat United since 19th May 2001 and in all fairness they have there best chance of ending this run with the likes of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale in the side but when it comes down to crunch time United 99% of the time get the job done.
The general feel around Old Trafford is that with a win this afternoon United will go on and win the league, after Tottenham away today United and Citys remaining 11 fixtures are as follows:
Manchester United
West Brom (H)
Wolves (A)
Fulham (H)
Blackburn (A)
Q.P.R. (H)
Wigan (A)

With it being the Premier League no game is easy but City have the likes of Chelsea at home and Newcastle as well as Arsenal away plus the massive game at home to United and with United having all their experience and know how I can see us taking the league come May and becoming Champions again, Come On United lets get the job done today and set ourselves on our way to becoming Champions of England for the 20th time!
Glory Glory Man United! <3
