Sergio Aguero says the manner of Manchester City's fight-back against Chelsea proves their mettle in the title race.
City's late comeback to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Etihad on Wednesday was the sort of triumph which rivals United have mastered over the years.
And Aguero reckons it was proof that City have what it takes to go all the way and lift the title on May 13.
"We are fighting for the title, we have confidence.
"We're the sort of team who know if we go behind we can come back and win the game.
"The key is we are in a position now where we can't afford to drop any points. Manchester United are quite experienced in these title chases but we have to focus on ourselves.
"We have dropped a few points here and there along the way but that's in the past. We are playing well and we must carry on in that vein and concentrate on not letting more points go - that's the key to it." He said: "That's what it's all about in a title race, not giving up.
