Galatasaray manager Roberto Mancini believes that his former club Manchester City will overcome their rivals to be crowned Premier League champions this season.

City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are all in contention for the title given that there are just six points separating first and fourth in the table.

However, the Italian, who was sacked by City last May, believes that the race will eventually be narrowed down to just two - City and Chelsea.

"I think that Manchester City's the best team," Sky Sports News quotes Mancini as saying. "They have the best players.

"I don't know if Liverpool, also doing very well in this moment, can win. I think it will be a fight till the end between City and Chelsea."

City are currently fourth, six points adrift of leaders Chelsea with three games in hand.
