Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given feels Manchester City can win the Premier League this season.
Given quit City for Aston Villa last season.
He told Absolute Radio: "Ah. No, they're doing great, you know. I mean they're really in a hot spur at the minute where the goals are banging in and even against Wolves the other night the so-called second string played and you know they scored another five goals and it just shows the strength they have and depth, you know.
"They've got a fantastic squad and as I said before the start of the season they'll be very close to winning the premier league this year, so I think they've proved that so far this season."
