Fergie likes the mind games too and reckons we will win too

"I have always felt a great sense of responsibility managing this football club, which is why our disciplinary record is so good.

"Sunday's match will not present a problem for us in that regard. It is an important game but we know how to handle it."

About mind games he says: "I don't mind it. It can be quite funny at times.

"We both have a job to do and we protect our clubs very strongly."

"I have a group of players who are well and truly capable of winning the game on Sunday and that is what I expect us to do.

"For us to win the league, winning is a big issue for us on Sunday. I am sure Arsenal would be delighted if they got a draw and stayed 11 points clear of us.

"This is the most important game we have had for quite a while but over the years, these are the matches we have revelled in," he said.

"These are the games where you feel you are challenged. There is a good buzz about the place and everyone is looking forward to it."
