BBC Sport pundit Lawrenson is confident Manchester City will continue their winning streak against Manchester United at The Etihad on Sunday afternoon.
Lawrenson told BBC Sport that now they must not prevent the city from winning the race,
"I remember in April 2018 when City took a 2-0 lead in this game at halftime and was about to hold on to the title, but United came back with a 3-2 win.
"It simply came to our notice then. A few days later the city was victorious.
“It's similar to the game. United have struggled to score late - they have drawn nothing in their last three games in all competitions - but if they do something out of it, it will be more important to their prospect of four than to capture the top City. "
Manchester City won 2-0 against Manchester United in their most recent League Cup meeting back in January.
The two teams played unbeaten in their Premier League meetings back in December.
