Ben Foster fired up for Manchester derby as United keeper rates City as a real threat
Ben Foster is relishing his first Manchester derby on Sunday and the chance to play against another Barclays Premier League contender.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are expected to provide the main threat to United's hopes of a fourth straight crown but Old Trafford goalkeeper Foster insists Manchester City must be taken seriously.
The Eastlands outfit were the top flight's biggest spenders in the summer and Foster is convinced they will have a major say come May after starting the campaign with four straight wins.

Bring it on: Foster is looking forward to Sunday's meeting with City
'Manchester City spent a lot of money in the summer and the start they have made this season means they've got to be considered (as genuine title contenders),' 26-year-old Foster told United's website.
'I think there’s no doubt that they’ll be up there come the end of the season, but so will we.'
United underlined their title credentials by coming from behind to beat Tottenham 3-1 on Saturday after City had swept Arsenal aside 4-2 at Eastlands.
Foster, who has been in fine form in the absence of Edwin van der Sar, added: 'The result they had against Arsenal was a big one for them.'It's not very often that a team beats Arsenal and score four goals against them.
'We know that it’s going to be a tough match on Sunday. But the lads will all be well up for it and giving 100 per cent.'
