We have slight edge – Mancini
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Manchester United in the first-leg of the Carling Cup semi-finals gives them the slight edge. The second leg will be played at Old Trafford on 27 January. "It is not a big advantage, but it is an advantage.,” said the Italian afterwards. "I am happy with the result because we were behind after 20 minutes and I felt it could be difficult. But we recovered, scored two goals and played well. Carlos Tevez scored both City goals after Ryan Giggs had opened the scoring for United. "They had three or four chances but, in Shay Given, we have one of the best goalkeepers,” added Mancini. "Now I would say we have a 51% chance.”
