But will it be the Red or Blue half of Manchester which will be celebrating at the end of the season?

Youth Scene asked Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School pupils.

Manchester City fan Taylor Rudolph believes his team will be lifting their first top division title since 1968.

The 10-year-old said: "We have a good goal difference compared to United, plus we have a lot of money and great players.

"I am confident we will win the Premier League."

City runs in Taylor's blood. He has been watching them since he was three and goes to the Etihad Stadium with mum Rochelle, dad Martin and five-year-old brother Callum.

"My favourite players are Sergio Agüero, Edin Dzeko and Adam Johnson. My favourite game this season was when we beat United 6-1 at Old Trafford."

Taylor was a mascot for the Blues when they met Portsmouth in 2008.

Jordana Jacobs is confident that the title will remain in United's possession in May.

Jordana, of Whitefield, said: "United are the best team and I think we will have our revenge on City, especially for the 6-1 game.

"They have just cheated by spending so much money."

She added that her favourite player is Wayne Rooney.

"He scores most of our goals," the 10-year-old added.

Fellow United fan Jack Berger does not believe that the Reds will win the Premier League.

Jack, nine, said: "It is David de Gea's fault - he is a rubbish goalkeeper.

"I would like United to sign a new keeper, possibly Iker Casillas from Real Madrid."

Jack, whose parents Natalie and David are also United fans, would also like to see Sir Alex Ferguson invest in some new faces in the summer.

He added: "He should sign Frank Lampard and Dani Alves.

"My favourite United players are Nani, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic and Javier Hernandez.

"We have missed Vidic a lot and I am sad that he is out for the rest of the season."

City fan Alex Radivan, who caught the Blue bug from his grandfather David Brown, is sure they will win the Premier League.

The nine-year-old said: "I think we can do it - we have a big squad.

"We have coped when players have been injured."

Taylor, whose favourite players are Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure and French international Samir Nasri, said his best moment so far this season was the 6-1 win.

United supporter Saul Bickerdike believes his team will clinch it.

Saul, 11, of Radcliffe, said: "We are only a few points behind City and ours is more of a team effort.

"Rooney and Giggs are not greedy with the ball, unlike David Silva, who City rely upon. City are just greedy.

"We have spent a lot of money, but they spent money all the time."
