Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson says he has no problems with Manchester City's attempts to undermine his side's confidence ahead of the trip to basement club Queens Park Rangers.
.
On Saturday, United have the chance to move 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with City not in action until they face Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
.
City manager Roberto Mancini has continually attempted to put pressure on his title rivals by promising they will stumble.
.
A host of City players have also reminded United that they let an eight-point advantage slip over the course of the final six games of last season.
.
Ferguson admits he would come up with similar ploys if he was in City's situation, but also expects the Blues to drop points over the course of the final 12 matches.
.
"My experience of this situation is that teams drop points," he said.
.
"I know they're going on about us dropping points, and I'd say the same things to be honest with you, but the fact of the matter is that they will drop points too.
.
"It's unavoidable. It's a tough league and it's not easy winning all of your games.
.
"At the moment we've got a good momentum and the only thing we can do is try to win our next game and the one after that and see where it takes us." United are unbeaten in 16 matches in all competitions and have secured 12 wins over that run.
.
Ferguson added: "Win our next match is the only thing we can do and there are great examples of that."
.
Phil Jones is definitely absent from the game at Loftus Road after sustaining an ankle injury in the 2-1 FA Cup fifth-round victory over Reading on Monday.
