Toure says Manchester City will defeat ‘vulnerable’ Man U in Manchester derby
By ANITuesday, February 8, 2011
LONDON - Manchester City defender Kolo Toure reckons that current Premier League points’ table leaders Manchester United will wobble now that they have surrendered their unbeaten run in the season.
Toure is convinced that United are vulnerable following their 2-1 loss against Wolverhampton, which wrecked their bid to set a new club record of 30 games unbeaten.
“When you’re on a run like that and you lose, everything becomes harder. It shakes your confidence,” the Sun quoted Toure, as saying.
The 29-year-old further said that City would cut the gap at the top to two points on Saturday by winning the Manchester derby.
“United are a really, good experienced team. But we can beat any team if we are on a good day. I have spent most of my career in England battling United, first at Arsenal, now at City. They are always at the top,” Toure said.
“Now we have new players, we are capable of fighting against them - and that has been shown with our results against them over the last 18 months. This season it was a draw. Last season we conceded three late winners. That was heartbreaking of course - and hopefully it will be our day on Saturday,” he added. (ANI)
