Jonny Evans thinks that Manchester City will get nervous and falter in their title challenge as the season progresses.

Manchester United centre-back Jonny Evans has said that neighbours Manchester City will get nervous as the season progresses.

The Blue half of Manchester are currently favourites to win their first Premier League title, being two points clear of United.

"The longer it goes, the more nervous they will get," said Evans. "They have been in front for quite a while now, but the gap is nothing. You never feel totally in control and I am sure they would like the season to end now."

Evans will be hoping to resume his position at the heart of Sir Alex Ferguson's defence when they travel to Norwich City tomorrow afternoon.

The Northern Irishman has played the full 90 minutes in United's last five Premier League outings but is wary of the threat posed by the Canaries.

"Norwich have done well since they got promoted," he added.

"It seems like a pretty tough place to go and Paul Lambert has got them working really hard. It is a game their fans and players will have been looking forward to all season. We did the job on them at Old Trafford. I am sure it will be different down there."

City take on Blackburn Rovers this evening in their Premier League fixture at the Etihad.
