Hart confident Man City can snap form slump for derby

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is confident they'll snap their form lapse going into the derby against Manchester United.

Hart insists there is no need to panic about his side's form after their winless run was extended to three matches with defeat to Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup.

"I think we've set up a good basis but in the last two or three games we've stumbled a bit," Hart said on Sky Sports News. "Looking back, the Moscow second half was really disappointing for us. West Ham was a hard game, a really hard game and people are going to struggle there. We know we can do better, we know we can do a lot better.

"Then obviously the Capital One Cup was a trophy we were looking to defend and we were not up the standard we wanted to be and the manager didn't shy away from that."
