Manchester United poised to end 2011 as EPL leaders above Manchester City
The Red Devils simply have to overcome Blackburn Rovers’ underdog threat to enter 2012 as English Premier League leaders. That’s all they’ll need to edge Man City… at least, temporarily.
Former Blackburn boy Phil Jones is publicly a fan of his ex-club. However, the Manchester United defender will be left with no other option than wishing defeat for the visitors on Saturday.
Rock-bottomed Blackburn Rovers are yet to win away from home but they’ve managed to secure draws at 5 separate occasions.
“We won’t find it easy, though. It’s going to be tough,” Phil Jones reminded ahead of the game according to Manutd.com.
“I know what sort of squad Blackburn have and there are some cracking players there. We can’t take them lightly.”
It is interesting to observe that Manchester’s two foes, City and United, are joint leaders at such a point in the campaign. They share the same record in terms of wins, draws and losses.
