Sir Alex Ferguson is not expecting any favours from Chelsea on Sunday - but that will not stop him hoping Wigan can pull off a surprise result at Stamford Bridge.[LNB] Manchester United must beat Stoke at Old Trafford and hope the Blues slip up at home to Roberto Martinez's side if they are to land a fourth successive title.[LNB] Given Chelsea's home form, it's a thin hope for United. But Ferguson is backing Wigan to give their all.[LNB] "It's pointless going into the game expecting anything from Chelsea in our favour," said Ferguson.[LNB] "I have confidence that Wigan will do their best and they will try.[LNB] "There's pressure on both us and Chelsea because we both need to win but I don't know what's going on in Chelsea's minds - all I know is that in this situation we just hope."[LNB] Ferguson will be without Antonio Valencia, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury, but Rio Ferdinand is expected to return.[LNB] "In a way the situation helps us because we can express ourselves, like we did against Sunderland.[LNB] "The players enjoyed themselves and we could have won very comfortably and scored four or five.[LNB] "We played without nerves, which is down to our experience. We have been here before and it's not affected us."[LNB] With the 2010 title still up grabs, Ferguson was already looking forward to next season.[LNB] "The Premier League will be more competitive next season," said Ferguson.[LNB] "This is the best Tottenham team I have experienced in terms of substance and City will be strong again next season. It is a strong league."[LNB]
