Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claims that his side will have to grind out a positive result against City next weekend if they are to have any hope of lifting the title.
The Red Devils uncharacteristically gave up their lead at the top of the Premier League yesterday after failing to get the better of Everton at home despite being 4-2 up at one point.

Welbeck and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 seemingly secured the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 pulled back for the visitors with a superb volley but Rooney struck again to make the score 4-2.
United were on the rise and were destined for three points but Jelavic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Pienaar-c34208 scored a goal apiece to send the travelling fans into delirium.
With the draw, the Reds have seen their lead at the top being cut from 8 points to 3 points and it places them in a must win situation when they travel to the Etihad for the most crucial Manchester derby in years.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is well aware of what his side face and has urged his troops to seek victory when the visit their ‘Noisy Neighbours’.
“It is definitely the most important derby in my time at United. We need to get a result at the Etihad, there is no question about that, we need to perform."
“But there is no reason why we can’t do that. The game on Monday would always be a derby of highest proportions and it won’t be any different now.”
“There will be a reaction to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 result, obviously, there is no question about that. We’ve given City the initiative, there is no doubt about that, and it makes the game at the Etihad a really important game, a decider. We make it hard for ourselves
as we normally do but we’ll go there knowing we are capable of getting a result.”
Fergie’s men travel across town on the 30th April, with a win all but securing their 20th title.
