Cisse akishangilia moja ya mabao aliyofunga wakati New Castle alipowachapa Chelsea 2-0
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.'
Derby blow: Vincent Kompany celebrates in winner for City on Monday
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.
