LONDON: Confident Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has declared: We will win the Premier League title.

City are four points behind deadly foes United but can close the gap today with their game in hand against Chelsea.

Mancini’s men have nine games after that – including a blockbuste­r clash with their city rivals at the Etihad.

And the Italian is convinced City can win all their remaining fixtures to secure glory.

Mancini said: “We will win the title, we will win. We will do everything to win the title. We need to think positive always.

“Until now we have had a fantastic Premier

We will win the title, we will win. We will do everything to win the title. We need to think positive always.

League, we need to continue like this.

“We play one game a week, we can have more concentrat­ion about this.”

Carlos Tevez could return to duty today – six months after his Munich sit-in appeared to end his City career.

Mancini added: “He is getting better but I don’t think Carlo can have more than 25-30 minutes.

“A player like Carlo needs to play but for 90 minutes it is impossible.

“But if he can play 30 minutes, after 45, then in three or four games he could have 90 minutes, easily.

“Tomorrow we will decide. Wewant to know the situation with the players.”
