We will be competitive, but unless our defensive play is completely different from what it has been all season, I can't see us picking up any points from these three.
Next year will be a different story, I hope.
And I'm really not convinced by Gelhardt appearing to copy Fernandes with penalty kicks - even though it seems to work
Don’t expect anything so pleased we got the 3 this weekend to give us some breathing space above those just below
Man City are playing at a different level to the one we saw earlier in season
Man Utd we are the dream side for them. Everything we struggle against they have.
Liverpool are picking up some form again as they look to cement top 4.
I would be delighted with 2-3 points
I’d take 2
Anything we get is a bonus.
We have played well against top teams and with a little luck, we could have beaten Chelsea and City, and got a point on the opening day against Liverpool. With the pressure off, and with our opposition also focusing on European trophies, I think we can beat United and take a point off City. Liverpool will need every win they can get to secure a top four place and I think they will beat us. Four points is my prediction.
Expecting nowt, but it's a learning curve.
Id take two
Id love 3+
Id be happy with 1
I wouldnt be surprised with 0
On the reverse side they won't exactly be happy to be playing us bearing in mind they have so many other important games coming up.
Pressure is off us and we won't lose all 3 games
I'd back us to win one. 4 points and I'd be elated.

Agree, I think we'll catch a couple of them off guard. European distractions for all of them.
I'd be happy with any points at all. Whilst all three have European distractions, they also have the squad depth to compensate. City are at a different level at the moment, so I see a defeat there. Liverpool are playing well and are after a top 4 finish, but perhaps a point from this game. As for Man Utd, I agree with Kebab that they would like to play us every week, so I expect a defeat against them. So somewhere between 0-1 points is my prediction!
I can't see much on paper but that's not football - let's be pleasantly surprised, you never know?
Man City top of the form table, Man Utd 2nd in the form table, Liverpool fourth in the form table.
It depends on the form of each team on the day!..
9 points to be had, difficult but not impossible, so, anything more than 1 is a positive as far as the level of them against us goes!..
3 draws would be great, but 1 win against any would be just as good!..
tbph i am not bothered about the results from here on in, we are now safe, just need to keep doing what we are doing putting in a shift & get ready for next season.
more important how well we play. i don't expect any points but wouldn't be surprised if we get 4.
the big one being the man utd game. no way should we have lost 6-2. mctomilty 2 goals and hasn't been heard of since.

So guaranteed 9 points then 😂😂
I would say united are the side you're least likely to beat out of the three

My thoughts exactly.
If I had to predict, I'd guess we lose to City and draw with 'Pool and Man U .. but anything could happen.
May I optimistically suggest one win, one draw and one loss for the next three? I'd be made up if that turned out to be the case, but we have been giving some of the top clubs a run for their money this season.
I'd also be extremely happy if we avoid a hammering by anyone. With almost a fully fit squad and with PL status more or less guaranteed, this really tough sequence of games is going to be THE test of whether we've learned anything from this season's experience so far.
Head wins over heart on this question.
I expect nothing points-wise from these next three fixtures. Anything more than that and I'll be over the moon.
That's not to say that we'll roll over. I expect us to give each of those teams a good battle and maybe even a shock if luck goes our way!
