Sibierski: Man City can win title if they maintain Man Utd-like spirit

Former Manchester City striker Antoine Sibierski feels the team is capable of taking out this season's Premier League title if they can continue to play with a great togetherness.

The Eastlands club came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 on Wednesday night to remain within a point of league leaders Manchester United and the Frenchman is confident that Roberto Mancini's charges can overhaul Sir Alex Ferguson's men by playing with the same character that has served the red side of Manchester so well.

"They showed a team spirit against Chelsea which is just like that at Manchester United, and if they maintain that I think there is a great chance that they will win the Premier League title," Sibierski told Goal.com.

"They have great players at City but sometimes they have played like a group of individuals and that has let them down. But against Chelsea they were all in it together and makes me think they can do it this season and win the league.

"Before the game I was worried but not now. They have a great chance of winning the league. City have now shown that they have learned to play together, especially when things are not going their way, which is what United are so good and it is why they have won so many titles under Ferguson."
