Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is hoping "somethingstupid" happens to crosstown rival Manchester City on thelast day of the race for the English Premier League title. City and United are level on points going into the final round onSunday, though City's superior goal difference means a homewin against relegation—threatened Queens Park Rangers willalmost certainly clinch the title for the first time in 44 years. "We can only do our best and try to win the game, and hopesomething stupid happens to Manchester City," Ferguson saidahead of his team's trip to mid—table Sunderland. City manager Roberto Mancini said the chance to win the titleagainst QPR made the match harder than playing United. City beat United in the Manchester derby 11 days ago to draw levelon points and maintained top spot with a hard—fought win atChampions League—chasing Newcastle last weekend to close on afirst title since 1968. "We shall play against a team that plays againstrelegation," Mancini said. "It will be hard, it will bedifficult more than Newcastle, more than United." City has secured 17 wins out of 18 home league matches, while QPRhas lost 13 matches on the road this season. After holding an eight—point lead at the beginning of April,United must hope for an unlikely slip—up to snatch a 20thleague title. Ferguson praised Mancini for bringing his team so close to thechampionship despite having to deal with numerous off—fieldissues, including Carlos Tevez's lengthy absence from theclub and Mario Balotelli's erratic behaviour. "It is obvious all the things he has had to deal with,"said Ferguson. "If he didn't have the closeness to winthe league, it might have fallen apart." Mancini struck a guarded attitude as he spoke at City'sCarrington training ground on Friday and insisted there was stillwork to do to secure the title. "We need to play another difficult game. They (QPR) are agood team that doesn't deserve to stay at the bottom. I thinkSunday will be a tough game." The match at Etihad Stadium has an interesting subplot. QPR managerMark Hughes is a cherished former United striker who was sacked asCity manager to make way for Mancini's arrival. Ferguson has joked that he wished Hughes could play for QPR, butMancini insisted personalities would not come into the equation. "It's not Mancini against Hughes or Hughes againstMancini, it's Manchester City against QPR," the Citymanager said. "One team plays for the title, one team playsfor relegation." Despite publicly conceding the title to United after falling eightpoints behind with defeat at Arsenal at the beginning of April,Mancini said the team always believed it had a chance. "You need to play 38 games," he said. "We were ontop for 28, afterward we had some problems with some importantplayers injured. We don't have the experience that Unitedhave, but we believe always." United will travel to Sunderland without defender Chris Smalling,whose groin injury will also rule him out of England's Euro2012 squad. "It's not going to be easy for us up there and we knowthat," Ferguson said. "We're going there with achance of winning the league and you know it'll never beeasy. These last—day games where you have a chance of winningthe league, three times we've won it and once we lost it atWest Ham. They're not easy." "I think the disappointment of City losing the game would beunbelievable and untold at this moment in time (as regards) whateffect it could have on them," he said. "We do tend toget there in the end but it looks like we're going to missout this season. "We're not looking as though it's the end of anera for us. In many ways, it's the start of one forus.".
