Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League, but only managed a goalless draw at Stoke on Saturday.
“I’m of the opinion that it normally goes down to two teams, in the last month anyway,” Ferguson said in the Sunday Times.
“Liverpool have had a good start and it’s given them more confidence and there’s more expectation on them now.
“They’re talking about winning the league, the supporters are talking about it and the players are talking about it so that makes a change.
“But they’ve not been able to talk about it for at least a good few years.
“Chelsea have experience and have been our main rivals for the last five years.”
