Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes Manchester City's winning experience will help them in the final few weeks of their Premier League title race.

Manchester United face a defining few weeks in their season as they chase two further trophies and Champions League football. Erik ten Hag's side are in the Europa League quarter-finals and the last four of the FA Cup, where they face Sevilla and Brighton respectively. United are also in the thick of the top four race in the Premier League.
They lost ground on that front at the weekend, losing 2-0 at rivals Newcastle United. The win moved the Magpies into third, above United on goal difference, and Ten Hag's men could drop a further place if Tottenham avoid defeat against Everton on Monday night.
It means United's game at home to Brentford on Wednesday is crucial for their Premier League aspirations as they seek to end a three-game winless run in the top flight. The visit of the Bees to Old Trafford is followed by a home match against relegation-threatened Everton, while United also have Nottingham Forest, Tottenham and Aston Villa to play in the league, as well as an FA Cup semi-final against Brighton.

And United hero Gary Neville feels that is an as attractive set of fixtures as you could wish for at this stage of the season.
"Forget Sevilla, that’s a great run in the league. That’s a great run," he said. "They’ve got a lot of games, they play every three days, but Brentford at home, Everton at home, Forest away, Brighton in the cup, Tottenham away then Aston Villa at home. Obviously Tottenham’s going to be tough but if you look at that month I think that’s a dream set of fixtures in the Premier League.
