Ferguson aionya Man City

Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Manchester City the title race is far from over as they face a tough trip to Newcastle.

City travel to the north-east on Sunday afternoon in the early kick-off before United take on Swansea at Old Trafford.

The two sides are level pegging at the top of the Barclays Premier League going into the final two games of the exhilirating campaign.

City's goal difference is plus-eight on their rivals - meaning that the title is almost certainly theirs if they win the remaining matches against Newcastle and QPR

But, speaking at his Thursday morning press conference, Ferguson warned City that they face a big job trying to nullify Papiss Cisse and co, who are flying high after their impressive 2-0 victory at Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Ferguson said: 'By the time we kick off we'll know what we'll need to do. Newcastle are fighting for that position in the top four. They have a chance. It's an exciting end to the season.

'The challenge for City is to win at Newcastle and Newcastle are playing very well. 

They've lost 4-0 at Wigan but galvanised themselves to win at Chelsea last night. Their form is good and it won't be an easy game for City.

'We'll be aware of the game going on before ours. You can't avoid it. We still have to prepare for our game, though. We won't neglect our preparation for our game.'

Ferguson's side will face Swansea without injured duo Danny Welbeck and Jonny Evans.

Evans picked up a knock before Monday's 1-0 defeat in the Manchester derby and the Swansea match is likely to come too soon.

Welbeck, who left the Etihad Stadium in a protective boot after a clumsy challenge from Nigel de Jong, has a slight foot problem but is set to return to face Sunderland on the final day of the season.

Ferguson has also warned his own players that Swansea will be no pushovers after their stunning debut season in the Premier League.
