Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is delighted to be again top of the table.
Despite repeating his mantra that Manchester United remain in pole position until City cross the winning line, Mancini could not hide his delight after yesterday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa.
"Now we are in February and we are still on the top. I think next week we will have ALL the players back and this is very important for us.
"To stay on the top with Manchester United and Tottenham, I think that we have to be very strong because United are still better than us.
"United have won everything in the last 10 years. Until we win the title, United are better." The City boss said: "We know December and January were difficult months for us because we had players injured, players banned and players away.
