Lucas: The Premier League title will end up in Manchester in May

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has claimed that the title is now a two horse race - and that the trophy will end up in Manchester come May.

Speaking ahead of his side's game with Manchester City at Anfield tomorrow, the Brazilian said: "The title seems pretty much a dispute between the two Manchester clubs.

"United have won four of the last five Premier League titles, so it is really no surprise they are doing well again. But nobody really expected them to be hammered 6-1 by City at Old Trafford earlier this season.

"City are no surprise, either, given the money they have been investing in star players since 2008. They now almost have two teams. I think it was only a matter of time before things began to click for them."

Lucas isn't quite ready to throw in the towel against this weekend's opponents, though.

"Manchester City are not unbeatable. I watched them against QPR a few weeks ago and they really struggled to win that game."
