Nemanja Matic insists Premier League title race is far from over

Manchester United currently sit 11 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, who are unbeaten in their 17 outings so far.

And while Matic acknowledges the big task at hand to catch City, the 29-year-old believes their cross-town rivals will slip up at some point.

Ahead of tomorrow's trip to West Brom, Matic told Sky Sports: "The gap is big, obviously 11 points is a lot, but the league is not finished.

“I’m sure there will be very interesting games until the end, and of course that they will drop some points. We will see what will happen.

The top five title races ever

MANCHESTER UNITED and Manchester City can merely be separated by goal difference after their opening six Premier League games - but what are the five greatest title races in top flight history?

5. Blackburn/Manchester United (1994-95): Kenny Dalglish’s Rovers needed a win at Anfield to win the title. A late Jamie Redknapp goal meant they were beaten 2-1, but United could not better their result, meaning they were still champions

"As I say there are still many games to play and I think that we are not out of the title race.

“If we want to catch them, we have to win almost every game, but as we know, and as everyone knows, in the Premier League it is not always possible to win every game, but we will try to do that.

"Obviously we are still in the title race.

“We also have the cups, we are in the knockout stages of the Champions League, so Manchester United is going game by game to be in there."
