We are playing really well now, though.[LNB]"Once we get to this stage of the season, it's no longer about wanting to win. You have to win.[LNB]"We have to play well and we have to score goals. We have a lot of confidence at the moment and hopefully we can keep that going.'[LNB]United have overcome a defensive injury crisis and some unconvincing displays during December and January to re-establish their credentials as title challengers.[LNB]The title race now appears to be a straight fight between United and Chelsea, who meet at Old Trafford on Apr 3, and Brown insists that United are well placed to claim an unprecedented fourth successive championship.[LNB]He said: "It is a bit topsy-turvy at the top of the league. We've had some good results in the last few weeks, while Chelsea dropped points against Hull last week.[LNB]'It is always good to see other teams drop points but it only matters if we win. It gives you a bit of a confidence boost when you go into a game knowing you could be top at the end.[LNB]"Now when you look at the table now, anyone could take it. We are in a good position."[LNB]
