Chris Smalling believes that Manchester United hold a narrow advantage over neighbours Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.
City are top of the table on goal difference but United will open up a three-point lead if they win their game in hand against Fulham at Old Trafford this evening.
Defender Smalling, who signed from the Cottagers for £10m, said: "We may have an edge over City at the minute.
"Experience is one thing, momentum is another. We are really building that at the minute. Those are the two things that can really help us push on.
"They're making a lot of noise over there and we don't them to win it."
Smalling has made 27 appearance for Sir Alex Ferguson's side this season.
