Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini feels the title race is wide open this season.

Mancini doesn't see the season as a shootout between City and Manchester United.

"I think Chelsea will buy other players and also Arsenal will change after Van Persie. They have bought good players, and it's the same at Liverpool with a change of manager. They will be better than last year, and also Tottenham. I think it will be a fight with four or five other teams," he said.

"After last season, I just hope we can maybe win the league with one game to spare!"
