Nigel de Jong is confident bitter rivals Manchester United will not be able to knock Manchester City off the top of the Premier League on Sunday. First plays second at Old Trafford, with Roberto Mancini's men leading the way by two points having won seven and drawn one of their eight games so far.
United will back themselves to win the title race, having secured a record 19th English top-flight crown last season, but City, strengthened beyond recognition by the cash of owner Sheikh Mansour, are genuine challengers to depose them and De Jong was in bullish mood after their midweek UEFA Champions League victory over Villarreal.
"We're going there as number one and the aim is to stay number one," he said. "We feel we can do that, but United will be confident as well and they're playing at home, so it's a massive game for both of us.
