Zlatan Ibrahimovic has warned Chelsea that Manchester United will be waiting to pounce on their mistakes in the title race.
Jose Mourinho’s side are currently 10 points behind the Premier League leaders but have registered wins in their last nine fixtures in all competitions but he is confident Manchester United can still catch Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title and hopes to propel their tilt with a win over Liverpool.
United somewhat struggled to get going in the opening stages of the 2016-17 campaign, but Jose Mourinho's men have been in sublime form in recent weeks, embarking on a nine-game winning streak in all competitions.
"The last one and a half months have shown the right way, the gap has been bigger but now it is better," the striker told United’s official website.
"The league is unpredictable. You do not have a team you can say will stay there and win it," Ibrahimovic told Sky Sports.
"Chelsea have been doing fantastic, they play once a week, they have a lot of condition, and a lot of power each time they play, but they were having trouble in the beginning and it clicked," he said.
The Swede striker has scored 13 goals in the Premier League this season.
"If we can come up there and disturb them, every team has their moment of dip in the competition. We had ours - winning, losing, winning, losing - and now we are winning. Hopefully we can continue like that, and we are waiting for others to make a mistake.
"Sunday is an opportunity to steal points from the top four. If we can we can start to battle with the top four, after losing many points where we should not have lost... The gap is smaller now, and if we can get that win from the top four, we are there."
"We are closer to that now. We wait for the other teams to have their dips, to make their mistakes, and we will be there."
"We will give them hard work until then because I think the second half of the season is the decisive one. I know what we want."
"We had our dips, our ups and downs when we were winning, losing, winning and losing. Lately, we have been winning, where we have been more stabilised as a team."
"The coach has found his base, which is not easy when you are a new coach coming to a new team and want to put in your philosophy, your game and the way you want it to be."
"I said from the beginning – slowly, slowly, we will get better and everything was about the click."
United are sixth in the table heading into Sunday's home game against Liverpool.
