Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has claimed that rivals Manchester United are still the team to beat.
The sides meet in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, while City hold a three-point advantage over their rivals at the top of the Premier League.
United have suffered two successive league defeats in the last week, but Mancini said: "If you want my opinion, United are the best team in England.
"They have a strong team with a strong mentality and they are at the top."
United boss Alex Ferguson has played down the significance of "two bad results" ahead of the derby at the Etihad Stadium, and Mancini also refuted suggestions that City's neighbours are on the slide
"We can't be like [United] in two years; they have had this mentality for 25 years," Mancini said.
"We can improve if we continue to win - if we win the championship or other cups. We started it last season. But in two years it is impossible."
