Manager Roberto Mancini says he trusts his Manchester City side to finish the job and be crowned champions on Sunday.
But even if they fail, the Italian insists his side have played the best football in the league this season.
Mancini's men are ahead of Manchester United on goal difference and will win the Premier League title by equalling their neighbours' result.
"I trust them 100 per cent," said the Blues boss. "They know they have everything in their hands."
He added: "They've worked very hard and fought for every game, for one year, and in this championship that is very hard.
"I think in the end the team that wins deserves to win, always.
"We have played the better football, 100%, even if we don't win, we played the better football."
City lead heading into the final day despite slipping eight points behind neighbours United following defeat at Arsenal on 8 April.
Mancini's side meet QPR at the Etihad while United must travel to Sunderland.
"I think that, at that moment, it was good for us because it took off all the pressure," said Mancini, who believes City would be worthy winners having led for most of the season and scored the most goals.
"Like all teams, it is impossible to play well every game for one year. We had one month where we had a problem - we didn't play well, we conceded easy goals, we didn't score. This is normal, I think.
"But we always believed, also when we were eight points behind.
"Against United and Newcastle we played really well, as a strong team mentally, and I think we should do the same on Sunday."
Ferguson and QPR boss Mark Hughes have described Mancini's tactics as negative, with Ferguson claiming City played with an Italian mentality by switching to a five-man midfield during their crucial derby victory on 30 April.
"I agree with him," joked Mancini, who later said the same about Hughes. "I'm Italian, I can't change my mentality, and he's Scottish."
But he added of Ferguson: "I think he's the best manager in the world."
And should Mancini beat the legendary United boss to the title, he will be staying well clear of controversial striker Mario Balotelli.
"If we win, it's better to stay far from Mario because it'll be very dangerous!" he quipped.
Sir Matt Busby applauds Manchester City on 1968 title
Manchester United manager Sir Matt Busby congratulates Manchester City boss Joe Mercer on winning the First Division title in 1968. The win was City's last top-flight title, usurping neighbours United as champions by winning 4-3 at Newcastle. Busby's team would go on to lift the European Cup a couple of weeks later.
History could repeat itself on Sunday, with City favourites to lift the Premier League trophy ahead of holders United.

Title failure could wreck Man City's future - Fergie
Alex Ferguson has loaded the pressure onto Manchester City ahead of Sunday's climax to the Premier League title race, warning the City players that they could ruin the club's future if they fail to beat QPR.
Ferguson is close to helpless in the defence of Manchester United's crown, knowing he almost certainly cannot stop City winning the league if they overcome QPR at The Etihad Stadium. All he has left is his famed mind games (yawn), and he has made one final attempt to influence the outcome of Sunday's action.
Such is the expectation for City to end their 44-year wait for a top-flight championship that Ferguson insists it would almost be embarrassing for the club's players to mess up.
Roberto Mancini's men could be on the cusp of an era of success - funded by the finances of their owners - but Ferguson warns that failure this weekend could leave City nursing a scar so deep that it could stay with them for years.
"City have got to win, but it's an enormous challenge for them, because the disappointment of losing the game would be unbelievable," Ferguson said.
"It's untold at this moment in time what affect it could have on them."
The pain of seeing United's neighbours take their Premier League crown would hurt Ferguson this weekend. But he insists the agony facing City if they capitulate under the pressure will be far worse.
"To win the league is not easy," Ferguson said. "Many people underestimate how difficult it is to win the league.
"It's fantastic for the neutral, fantastic for the media, but agony for both clubs, and more so for City if they lose it."
Royle: Balotelli red card could have won Man City the title
Former Manchester City player and manager, Joe Royle, has told talkSPORT that Mario Balotelli getting sent off at Arsenal could well have won them the Premier League.
The temperamental Italian striker spent the majority of the first-half in their 1-0 defeat to the Gunners putting in poor challenges on Bacary Sagna and an exceptionally bad one on Alex Song, in the end the 21-year-old was shown a red card for two bookable offences.
But his replacement for the last five games, Carlos Tevez, has scored four times as they have usurped rivals Man United and put in some excellent team performances when, after his misdemeanour in Munich, it had looked like he may never play for Man City again.
And Royle believes that Roberto Mancini’s decision to forgive the Argentine and reintroduce him to the starting line could well be vindicated if they lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday afternoon.
“In my own humble opinion I think Tevez and Aguero as a pair are City’s best bet [to play against QPR]. You don’t use trust and Balotelli in the same sentence because that has been his problem.
“He has been volatile and arguably the situation at Arsenal worked for Man City, whereby when he got sent off Mancini had to bring back Tevez and they’ve never looked back since.
“I don’t think [Mancini] handled the [Carlos] Tevez situation as well as he might have done, but they have come storming back.
“He’s bought great players, Yaya Toure has been exceptional, and there is no doubt in my mind that they have the best players assembled.“If they win the Premier League he’ll be totally vindicated"
