Man City manager Roberto Mancini believes that the Manchester derby against city rivals Man Utd will decide the destination of the Premier League title. Man City slipped to a shock defeat to Swansea City at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Manchester United were victorious in their Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion.
But Mancini thinks that the defeat is not so important as the title will be decided in two months time.
Mancini said: "Today was not critical. I think this championship will be decided with three games to go. We should fight against them until the end. We have another 10 games to finish this championship.
"The season is long and every week the situation could change. Now it is important we are very comfortable together. It is better to stay at the top but, now we are behind, it doesn't change our target.
"I'm still confident about winning the Premier League. We were top for months but it just so happens that we are second with 10 games to play. It is important that we are there around the top.
"We know United have gone top, like we were, but now we should be more strong and it is a test for our players. It has been a difficult last four days for me but football is like this.
"The season is long and what happened today can happen also to United."
