Having successfully played a period of tough matches, the team has great chances to win the English Premier League, says coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

On Sunday, the 'Red Devils' defeated third-placed London's Tottenham 3-1 and reduced the leader Man City's lead to two points.

"We know perfectly well what we need to do. We won't get nervous," Ferguson said. "We are only two points behind the leader and we have been in such a situation before. The match against Tottenham proves that we are capable of winning."

Talking about the recent matches against teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham, the Scotsman stated: "We had to compete with strong teams, the period was not easy, but in many cases we played really well."
