Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, what do we reckon the points total will be.

I'm thinking 7 out of 9 and promotion will come in the Sheffield game at home on Kompany's birthday

Promotion at Middlesborough, championship at home to Sheff Utd

9 out of 9

A tough couple of weeks there.

I just hope we can beat Sunderland at home with no injuries and suspensions meaning we hopefully have a fully fit squad for the double header over Easter.

Having THB, Brownhill and a fully fit Benson for these games is major plus point.

All three of these teams will feel the force of a wounded Clarets team out to prove they really are worth a place in the top league.

I expect 6/7 points but really want 9.

9 points

Boro’s home record under Carrick is outstanding… very tough game. They do play in a way that we like to get at though, they will play out from the back and no doubt we will press very high. I watched them recently and their crowd gets very nervous still when they are playing out. The keeper Steffen is a poor man’s Muric.

I think we can go there and deliver a statement win, which of course will deliver us the P following a W over Sunderland. As others said, having the likes of Benson/Brownhill/THB back leaves us really strong for whatever happens on the day.

If you offered me now a win v Sunderland and then 2 draws I'd take it. That would mean the most both Boro or SU could gain on us was 2 points and the most they could total then would be a 89 and 95 respectively. We would be on 88 with a much better goal difference and still 6 to play.

Obviously I'd rather win at Boro to go up and then beat SU.

AND

Obviously, hope for all nine, but five would be good.

Nine points! The unbeaten run will continue

Well collect at least 7 from this tough trio of games, let's have some faith in the lads they've been brilliant all season, and now the finishing line is in sight they'll want to get the job done.

We're better than all 3, that's why we're top of the league.
That they'll raise their game and we'll still beat them, champions elect.

5 points, as long as we beat Sunderland draws against the other 2 would be fine.

Hoping four 3 win’s from next 3 game’s
But would take a win and 2 draw’s

Don’t think it will be 3 losse’s’ though
