Yaya Toure now expects Man City to win title

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure expects them to now win the Premier League title.

Manuel Pellegrini's side are now on course to claim their second league crown in three seasons if they beat Aston Villa on Wednesday and West Ham United on Sunday.

Ivory Coast international Toure said: "We definitely expect to win it, as a team at the top you always expect to win.

"We have worked so hard this year and if we don't win, it would be a massive disappointment for us, for the fans and for the club as well.

"This win puts us in a very, very good position but we have to be careful because if you remember in 2012 our last game against QPR, the last minute was unbelievable.

"We were dying and Aguero saved us right at the end. I don't want to live through something like that again, it was almost too much for my heart.

"I think the supporters would say like me that we don't want to live through that again.

"I hope this time, in these two games, we can make a difference earlier and get the wins early. We need to be well prepared for these games and not make it so close as last time."
