"Knowing the players they won't muck it up," said Ferguson. "They will receive a point there is no doubt about that.
"It's fantastic to be the most successful team in the country."
If as expected United seal the title it will be their 12th league success since Ferguson joined from Aberdeen in 1986 but they remains in no doubt as to the importance of his first title triumph in 1992.
"The minute they won that first title in 1992 the door opened, & we have been involved in the first all throughout that period - it is an fabulous achievement," they added."For the last 17 or 18 years it is been Arsenal & Chelsea as our nearest challengers, & the last few years it is been Chelsea. Arsenal made a great attempt this year but them losing [at Stoke] has finalised it.
"It took time to get the foundations of the club right & after they got the first title they improved, improved & improved."
Ferguson's side had lots of chances in the first half to make the winning margin more good-looking before Frank Lampard got a aim back for Chelsea in the 68th minute.
"We do it on a regular basis. They could have scored about six in the second half. You expect a hard game against Chelsea & they got that," added the Scot.
"We got a great start. It was a nice team performance. When they gave the ball away for their aim the fans helped us by playing their part. Credit to the players because they deserved it."
However while Ferguson believes the title is all-but won, midfielder Ryan Giggs, who is also set to win his 12th league title, said there was no room for complacency in their final league fixtures against Blackburn & Blackpool.
"Both of those teams are fighting for their lives. They must go to Ewood Park next week to try to finish it off as early as feasible," said the 37-year-old.
Meanwhile Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who faces an uncertain future after ending the season trophyless, conceded that his side had been beaten by the better team on the day.
"In the first minute they lost it [the game]," they said. "We started so bad, it was difficult after that to come back & win.
"The second half was better [for us] but in general United played better & deserved to win. They took lots of time to clear our heads [after their first goal] because they didn't need to start the game by conceding aim.
"United were strong so it was difficult to come back.
"It is not a disappointment because when team plays better than you, you need to accept it. They were better than us & in the season as well. Now they are comfortable to win the title & they deserve it.
"My future? I think they must wait weeks. It is not a long time. I hope [I am at Chelsea next season] but it is not my decision."
