The 3-1 local derby victory over Man Utd took the City up to eleventh in the Premiership table with seventeen points but after the sides showing in the last three League games Keegan believes they are worth a higher spot.

"Saturday was three very points for us and it takes us up that table. I think we are a better side than our League position has been so far and I have told the players that," Keegan told www.mcfc.co.uk.

"But of course points on the board are the only thing that determine how good you are but those were three very big points against Manchester United."

"I don't think I will have any problem keeping the players' feet on the ground.

"All the players are realist and they know that in this League you have to keep performing every week."

"We had just been to Wigan and got turned over by a very good side when we didn't play. But in the derby we played. The last three League games have been good enough for me and I am sure the fans who we play for."
