Fergie Warns Against Complacency

United go into Wednesday night's match against Newcastle United seven points clear of Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table and with a game in hand on both but Ferguson knows all too well that retaining the title is not guaranteed just yet.

"I keep saying it and nobody seems to listen, but March and April are the months that decide the league title," Fergie has said.

"A lot can happen in those months. We have lost leagues in March and April in the past and we have also won them by going on fantastic runs at that time.

"I think we will drop points between now and the end of the season, but I also believe that the others will drop points too."
