Manchester
City midfielder Yaya Toure admits that family ties are being
stretched to its limit following the title race with older brother
Liverpool's Kolo Toure.
The
very dramatic Premier League season comes to an end today, (Sunday)
with Manchester City facing Liverpool for the very coveted title.
Manuel Pellegrini's City will win the title if they draw or win their
home game against West Ham. On the other hand, Liverpool will be
champions for the first time since 1990 if they are able to beat
Newcastle granted West Ham wins over Manchester City.
Arsenal
will play Norwich who will be relegated even with a win.

City have had amazing players all season, Yaya Toure has been culled
one of the best midfielders in the world following his strong
performance all season long, however, if West Ham decides to fight
back and win, then the title will definitely go to Liverpool, (lets
not hope this happens) Speaking after City's 3-2 win over Everton
which help put them in control of their Championship race, while
jeopardizing Liverpool's chances of winning, the Toure brother who is
most likely to win this year spoke more about dealing with title race
with a family member (Kolo Toure)
"Oh
yes, it's been really difficult. You can't imagine how difficult,"
Yaya Toure said of the fight within the family.
"Your
family have to try to be balanced - they are divided. Sport is
unbelievable in that it can break hearts.
"If
it is my brother who wins it I would still be happy for him. It would
be amazing for him.
"But
whatever I'm doing I always try to win - I've always been the same. I
will only lose if someone is better than us.
"But
it's still so tight - Liverpool still have a chance and so do Chelsea
- they beat us twice, don't forget. It's going to be exciting.
"The
family don't want to choose a side. We don't know how it will end.
"They
just say 'the best team will win it'. They know that both teams have
the quality to do it so let's wait and see."
City
beat West Ham 6-0 in their last visit to Etihad Stadium, in the
Capital One Cup in January. City's boss Pellegrini is hoping for a
repeat performance in Sunday's game, he said: “ We beat them here
in the Capital one Cup, it was a very good game and I hope we can
repeat it, but the best way to do it is to play in the same way.”
On
City's 4-0 victory over Aston Villa midweek which brought their
league goals for the campaign to 100 Pellegrini said:
“We
did it especially against Aston Villa. I think that was one of the
best games we played the whole year.”
