It’s United’s title to lose – Kidd

(31-12-2010) The league title is Manchester United’s to lose, reckons Manchester City assistant manager Brian Kidd. The fierce cross-town rivals head into 2011 level on points at the top of the standings, but with United having played two games less. "It's in their hands. You can't get away from that,” said Kidd, who is a former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at United. "They have been round the block and know how to win league titles." City are second (on goal difference from United), two points clear of third-place Arsenal, with Chelsea a further two points off the pace in fourth. Kidd said he regarded Chelsea as the other main contender for the ultimate prize. "It's the same with Chelsea. Not so much so with Arsenal as it's been five years since they were in the mix - but they [Chelsea] know how to go on and win it."
