Fabregas: City can’t buy spirit

ARSENAL captain Cesc Fabregas has warned Barclays Premier League title rivals Manchester City they cannot just buy the spirit of champions.

The Gunners will head to Eastlands for Sunday’s showdown with confidence restored after victory over Birmingham was followed up by a 5-1 Champions League demolition of Shakhtar Donetsk at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

City are currently just two points behind leaders Chelsea as Roberto Mancini’s unprecedented spending spree appears to be paying dividends.
