"I don’t want to do the same mistake next Saturday. I’m disappointed for my mistake.”Mancini has David Pizarro available for the Fulham game after signing the Chile midfielder from AS Roma on loan.Pizarro, who was with Mancini at Inter Milan when they won the Scudetto in 2006, has not featured much this season but believes he can help City get over the winning line."It is a great opportunity to create history and be part of this club’s history, that is my aim, to help the squad achieve the target which is to win the league title,” Pizarro told the Manchester Evening News.United have not won at Chelsea in the league since 2002 but the Londoners are way off the pace in fourth place and Stamford Bridge is not the fortress it once was.Chelsea are without England left back Ashley Cole, who was sent off in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City on Tuesday, and Ferguson is confident his side can record a rare win in west London to keep the pressure on City.TITLE HOPESTottenham rekindled their title hopes with a 3-1 home victory against Wigan Athletic and a rare "league double” over Liverpool last season means Harry Redknapp’s side will approach Monday’s game in a positive frame of mind.They have injury worries over winger Aaron Lennon and striker Jermain Defoe while Rafael van der Vaart hurt his calf against Wigan and is doubtful.Manager Harry Redknapp may also be struggling to get to the game as his court case for alleged tax evasion continues.Sixth-placed Liverpool have no such worries with Suarez available again and Andy Carroll back in the goals after his strike in the 3-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.It was Carroll’s first league goal since October and a brief reminder of why Liverpool paid 35 million pounds ($55 million)for the former Newcastle United striker exactly a year ago.Fifth-placed Newcastle can exert pressure on Chelsea in Sunday’s lunchtime kickoff at home to Aston Villa while Arsenal, down in seventh, will hope to get back to winning ways in the league at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.The Gunners have managed just one point from the last 12 on offer and manager Arsene Wenger knows his team are in a "big fight” to secure a top-four berth.
