Manchester: Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko believes that Manchester United are still the favourites for the Premier League title despite Roberto Mancini's side holding a five-point advantage over the Red Devils after 10 games.
Following City's 6-1 demolition of United at Old Trafford last weekend, the Blues preserved their five-point cushion with a 3-1 victory over Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Despite their position at the top of the table, former Wolfsburg attacker Dzeko admits "United are United" and that they are still favourites to retain their crown.

"I still don't think we are favourites," the Bosnian said, as quoted by the Guardian.
"There are still a lot of games to play. We have played 10 matches and are five points clear of Manchester United, but for me they are still favourites for the title. We are first and want to stay there but United are United, although we are growing up with every game."
Dzeko was embroiled in controversy last month after his negative reaction to being substituted against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but the 25-year-old insists that he apologised after the game and that it was normal for him to be angry after failing to score.
"I apologised afterwards," he added. "Sometimes, it is hard when you play badly and don't score goals. Sometimes, you are angry and that is normal. I played for two and a half years in Germany. I wanted to win and maybe score a goal. In Munich we played well for the first 30 minutes and then nothing.
