Hughes: We are in form
|
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has told Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of today's derby that his outfit are the team in form.
City face Manchester United at Old Trafford in bullish mood looking for a fifth straight win.
Ferguson's side suffered a shock defeat to newly-promoted Burnley last month and Hughes believes they are not the same force as last season.
He said: 'Whenever you go to Old Trafford you need to do so with confidence. We cannot be in any better shape on that score.
'Every Premier League match is a challenge and what you must do is try to take points off the teams in and around you.'
Former United striker Carlos Tevez could be in line for a re-call after returning to training following a knee injury.
However, Hughes is adamant there will be no Adebayor-style celebration if the Argentinian does find the net.
