Manchester City's Javi Garcia puzzled by lost points ahead of Old Trafford derby

Manchester City's Javi Garcia insists the gap at the top of the Premier League table will mean nothing in Monday's Manchester derby.

Serious

Monday's derby will be City's first visit to Old Trafford since their astonishing 6-1 win there in October 2011. Garcia, who joined City at the end of last summer's transfer window from Benfica, says that the result sent shockwaves around European football. "I didn't see the game last season when City won 6-1 because I was playing, but that result made the whole of Europe realise just how serious this club is," he added. "If it is possible I want to repeat the same result - but for me a 1-0 win with a lucky goal in the last minute will be just as good. "This game means more than three points. It is our chance to show that the 15 points are not a true reflection of where we are."
