Premier League officials have made arrangements to present the trophy at Old Trafford after the final whistle.
"We have another o
pportunity to win it in front of our own fans - it would be nice to do it," said Ferguson.
Only one of United's 10 Premier League titles has been won at home - in 1999, with a 2-1 victory against Tottenham.
"I have always said I don't care where we win it," added Ferguson.
"But it is strange that we have won it once out of 10 at Old Trafford."
His club also won seven pre-Premier League titles, but Ferguson denied that the prospect of equalling Liverpool's historic record of 18 league titles was on his mind.
The Scot said that his famous vow upon arriving at the club to "knock Liverpool off their perch" was achieved with his first title 16 years ago.
"I never even thought about moving level with Liverpool," said Ferguson.
"My first intention was to win one and break the stranglehold Liverpool had on the title. The big challenge was that first one."
Arsenal helped break Liverpool's near-monopoly on the old Division One with wins in 1989 and 1991, but Ferguson believes they will be keen to do the Merseysiders a favour by extending the title race into the final day of the season.
"They have had a bit of criticism recently and they will want to register their abilities on a day when everyone expects Manchester United to win the title," he said.
If Arsenal are to send United to Hull still needing a result they will need to win without keeper Manuel Almunia, who is out with an ankle problem.
Long-term absentee Tomas Rosicky is back in training but has been ruled out for competitive action until next season, while Gael Clichy (back), William Gallas (knee) and Eduardo (groin) will all remain on the sidelines.
England defender Rio Ferdinand misses out again for United with a calf injury but could return for the final match of the season against Hull next weekend.
Ferdinand will be joined in the stands at Old Trafford by Olympic 100m and 200m champion and United fan Usain Bolt, who spent Friday at the club's training ground.
Bolt, who is in Manchester to race at the Great CityGames, gave some tips to the players - including Cristiano Ronaldo - on how to keep their feet when running at full speed.
Darren Fletcher, suspended for the Champions League final, could start.
