‘We’ll give 100 per cent’ – Jesse Lingard confident Manchester United can spoil Manchester City’s Premier League title party

Jesse Lingard is confident Manchester United can spoil Manchester City's Premier League party this weekend.

Saturday's Manchester derby offers Pep Guardiola's men the ideal chance to make amends for the shock 3-0 loss at Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

It was an uncharacteristic performance from swashbuckling City, whose exquisite form is epitomised by their eye-watering 16-point lead over second-place United.

So strong is their position that victory on Saturday will see them wrap up the Premier League against their near neighbours, but in-form Lingard believes United can frustrate their rivals if they ignore the background noise.
