Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup has dismissed claims of Manchester City being title favourites.
Manuel Pellegrini's free-scoring City lie second in the table and are being hotly tipped for the title.
They travel to Swansea today and Laudrup said: "They have done really well until now and we play the best attacking team in the league, but we're still only at the beginning of January.
"I have been in the football world for many years and I'm used to people giving titles away, talking about who won the title in October, November or December - but then two months later, everything changes.
"Suddenly in March and April you have three or four players who are not at their best with small injuries.
"I've never seen anyone relegated or win the title in December. Never."
