I think City will win the league again this season. Manchester United have no penetration at all in midfield, Rooney looks finished... if it weren't for van Persie they'd be miles off the pace.

Strootman has been heavily linked with them but with their finances who knows if anything will come of that. £18m for Ashley Young has to be one of Ferguson's worse signings.

They'll probably beat Reading but the derby at the Etihad is as close to a title decider as you can get in December.

They win nearly all their matches, they often come from behind to win and are the team to beat again as they are every season. I'd say Hernandez has been the key man for them with his goals.

If United win this one (Reading) then they take a three point lead.

I'm not entirely convinced by United this season either but the same goes for City. They are both gonna drop points.

I'd also tip City for the title, but lets keep things in perspective.

You think Hernandez has been more key than Van Persie? Interesting.

Great match between Man United and Reading now, should be 5-3. Still think Man city will win the league though.

I think Hernandez has been outstanding but he's mostly on the bench. RVP has been a key player for them and has banged a lot of goals away. RVP has played a far bigger role than Hernandez this season.

They've lost three times already mate. Everton was excusable but the Tottenham and Norwich games were bad defeats.

Saying that, wins away at Anfield and Chelsea in quick succession, along with the Newcastle win, were actually very good.

If they don't sort the defence out they'll come unstuck because you can't keep scoring 3 or 4 goals every game. 21 goals conceded already in 15 games.

And RVP has been their player of the season mate, along with Rafael. Best right back in the league imo.

I know he didn't play yesterday, but he bags goals and has got them out of trouble several times this season already.

Well they won again yesterday and that's just it they keep on winning (just) City dropped two points and well Rafael wasn't so good yesterday. In fact it was a bad day for anybody called Rafa.
