O'Neill rebuke for Mancini

Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill has reminded Manchester City counterpart Roberto Mancini of the Black Cats’ record against his team after the Italian suggested Manchester United’s run-in was not as difficult as his side’s.

The Manchester clubs go head to head in what has been billed as the Barclays Premier League title decider on Monday night, after which United face Swansea at home and Sunderland away while City visit Champions League-chasing Newcastle and host relegation-threatened QPR.
