The Red Devils have been in their best run of form since the departure of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has taken the Premier League by storm while Jose Mourinho has proven his doubters wrong and the poor season with Chelsea as just a one off.

With the type of form and fitness in the squad, Manchester United could surely bank of their firepower to move into the top four. With other teams in the top six dropping points, Manchester United could even end up in the top three of the Premier League and complete an incredible comeback after a poor start.

Just when Everton seem like they are at their best, they slow down. After a three-game winning run, which included a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City, they drew against Stoke City when they could have easily bagged the game.

And then after trashing Bournemouth, one would’ve expected them to win against the misfiring Middlesborough. However, Everton simply wer not able to convert their chances and it is games like these that will hurt them the most. Had they been more consistent after their bright start, the Toffees could have been pushing for a European spot.
