Neville: Man Utd Will Win Title Before Man City Game

Phil Neville expects his former club Manchester United to clinch the Premier League title before the derby with Manchester City on April 30.

Neville told BBC Radio Manchester's Red Wednesday: "I think the title will be over before that game at the Etihad.

"It's not the [derby] games that are going to win you the title, it's the games against the likes of Blackburn, Swansea and Sunderland.

"At the moment, Manchester United are doing that better than City."

He continued: "City go to Arsenal next, which is such a difficult game. It's all going in Manchester United's favour at the moment, and they've got the experience."

He said: "I always think it's at this stage of the season you see the true spirit and true quality in title-winning teams.

"United have prepared all season for March, April, May and you're now seeing a team that's bang in form - full of confidence, everyone fit - who I think are worthy champions."
