Ferguson's side travel to Blackpool this weekend aiming to maintain their two-point lead at the top of the table after seeing reigning champions Chelsea suffer a dip in form.
The Gunners visit Old Trafford on 13th December, with the trip to Stamford Bridge following six days later.
And with Arsenal meeting Chelsea later in Decemeber, Ferguson accepts it is going to be a crucial period in the race for the championship.
"You always want to win those games because they are really significant," Ferguson told Inside United.
"We have managed to claw ourselves into a position where we are two points ahead of Chelsea, so the game at Stamford Bridge and Arsenal's trip to Manchester will certainly be very important, there's no doubt about that.
"We saw that last season - some big decisions didn't go our way in the two matches against Chelsea and they ended up costing us important points."
Ferguson admits he will have to keep his squad fresh during the busy festive period as he looks to go into the new year on top of the pile.
"You are aware that you have to use your squad well because there are so many games, particularly during that week between Christmas and New Year," Ferguson added.
"Three matches in six days is a lot. It is a hectic period but we have the players to cope.
"Hopefully we're in the right position come the start of January."
