United title win inevitable, says Hughes

QPR manager Mark Hughes believes there is a “sense of inevitability” about Manchester United retaining the Premier League title — but is determined to cause an upset tomorrow.

Manchester City looked on course for a first league title since 1968 earlier in the season, but Alex Ferguson’s side are now five points clear with seven matches remaining.

An eight-point gap can be opened up over City at the top with an eighth successive league victory, although QPR will be looking to end that run at Old Trafford.
