Roberto Mancini: Manchester City in title race with Manchester United

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini insists the Premier League title race is not over, despite his side trailing Manchester United by nine points.  The champions needed a brilliant late equaliser from Sergio Aguero to secure a point in a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Etihad Stadium.

Mancini said: "This championship is not over, absolutely not. There is still time for a team to make a mistake.

"We probably now need to win all of our 13 games, but if not 11 or 12."
He added: "This is football and it can happen. Last year we recovered eight points in the last six games. It is not finished.

"We have 13 games left and Manchester United have to play in the league, FA Cup and Champions League. The season is long, we have three months to go and we are confident."
