UP FOR THE FIGHT ... Michael Carrick
The Red Devils lead Liverpool by two points and Chelsea by seven while Arsenal are a massive 12 behind.
Alex Ferguson's side also have a game in hand over their rivals and have not conceded a league goal in 13 matches. But midfielder Carrick said: "We have done a little bit of the work but there is an awful long way to go yet.
"This league has already shown there are some unexpected results to be thrown up. "It would be incredible to do it but we have to earn that right.
"You have got something special if you win three in a row. "It would be an amazing achievement and would show what a good team we have been over a consistent period."
