Mancini prepared to wait before suggesting title winning points target

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is being coy over the number points he thinks is required this season to win the Premier League title. The Italian suggested before Christmas that he felt a team would need 90 points to secure the title but are now level with Manchester United with 45 points from 18 games, while Tottenham are seven points behind with a game in hand.

Mancini said: "It is difficult. In this moment City, United and Tottenham have a lot of points compared to other years.

"If you said how many points you need to win the league, it is very difficult. I think you need to wait another six or eight games."
