While Manchester City is one of the worst away teams in the Premiership, the situation has completely changed for them as they need to get wins, in order to ensure a solid chance of grabbing that UEFA Cup spot with pressure mounting from Aston Villa, Blackburn and Everton. It’s finally showing that the Premier League has a godo battle between team 4 to 8, which is leaving the race very interesting. Manchester City have been dismal on their away trips and none can be worse than the loss to Sheffield United team in the FA Cup. Derby are no less, losing to relegation battlign Preston as well despite many signings made. In order to maintain this pressure on teams that are lower than them, they are going to have to chalk up the results especially with a team thats sure for relegation. Points like these determine a lot, and after the loss on Sunday, you can expect Eriksson to field his strongest unit to try and hammer Derby County.
