I'm still not convinced with United's prospects and their longetivity in the race.
They looked problematic all over the shop in the Champions League against Young Boys and even though they'll eventually make it out of that group (because it's and easy group), even in their premier league games they've looked less than convincing.
City I also don't believe are "struggling" the way most pundits think they are or were after the draw with the Saints yesterday.
They had an off-day at the office, and that was about it.
Yes, they have question marks at the front end with no sure-fire lethal threat having lost Aguero in the summer and failing in their bid to get Kane.
But Pep usually solves these issues by the time the Christmas period arrives and I believe it will be more between then and Chelsea right up there with us - with Chelsea the biggest threat in my mind (bigger than City).
The return match for us with them at the Bridge will be interesting and probably the game of the season in terms of the implications.
United might be thereabouts for fourth but I wouldn't be surprised if they find themselves in a fight for it with Rafa's Bitters and another surprise performer (this season's version of Wolves or Leicester)
