Sven Goran Eriksson believes that Manchester City are still capable of claiming a European spot.

The Swede has seen his side win just two of their last seven games in the Premier League and are now three points off the pace in the battle for a top-six finish.

They only have 11 games in which to push themselves back into the reckoning, but their manager remains quietly confident of accumulating enough points to ensure they will be celebrating come the end of the season.
