Roberto Mancini trusts his players to win the title

Roberto Mancini and his players saw in the new year with a midnight toast at the team's hotel in the North-East, with the Manchester City manager happy to confirm his resolution for 2012 is to win the Premier League.There was even a quip from the increasingly relaxed Italian: 'I always hoped that one day in my life I'd be in Sunderland on New Year's Eve!'In just two years, Mancini has transformed a club riddled with dressing-room division into genuine title contenders. They should end the first weekend of the new year top of the table if they beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
