Football: City look to underline superiority

LONDON: Manchester City could end this weekend eight points clear at the top of the English Premier League as Roberto Mancini’s men look to edge closer to a first league title since 1968. City’s superiority will be hammered home if they win at home to Norwich and local rivals and reigning champions Manchester United fail to pick up any points on their trip to Aston Villa. In other fixtures, under-pressure Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas will take the misfiring Blues to fourth-placed Newcastle, third-placed Tottenham – still battling to stay in the title race – will look to continue their impressive start to the season at home to Bolton and Arsenal will travel to face Wigan.
