Manchester City title challenge

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp hopes Manchester City will struggle to challenge the Premier League title. City captain Roberto Mancini spent over 100 million pounds on five new signings as the club's Abu Dhabi based owners attempt to turn their team into a Premier League. But despite of David Silva and Yaya Toure, City were forced to settle at Tottenham in their opening league game and Redknapp wasn't impressed with this.

They are teams with people who have done it well and won everything, including Champions League winners. So he wouldn't see City finishing above them. Redknapp believes City will face a battle just to secure Champions League qualification unless they play stylish. They will find it more difficult to win games if they set up as defensively as they did against them. If they spend enough they will get enough time in the end but certainly he wouldn't see them being champions. They have a chance of finishing in the top four but Arsenal will be close to the title and Liverpool are going to be strong.
