Our next matches

Leicester (a)
Atalanta (h)
Liverpool (h)

Liverpool seem to be back to something resembling title challengers again, so that’s a worry. I fear a 3-0 drubbing for some reason.

Atalanta is a tough one to call depending on which team turns up. For them and us.

Leicester is never easy either, especially at their place. If we get a draw here, although not great for our title aspirations, it wouldn’t be the worst result in the world. It would leave us without a win in 4 in the league, including 3 home games.

However, if we win both league games it would leave us in a very strong position going into the next 3, arguably even tougher games:

Tottenham (a)
Atalanta (a)
Man City (h)

Seems too early to be make-or-break, but...

We need to be winning all 3.

Leicester have had a poor start. No doubt they put in their performance of the season.

Atalanta sound like a side that will play into our hands.

We rarely lose to Liverpool at OT. Our only loss to them at home recently was in an empty stadium in a game that didn’t matter for us.

I expect us to beat Atalanta, who are not a good defensive side at all. But certainly not confident for the two league games

Hard to call with us. We'll probably lose to Atlanta and beat Leicester and Liverpool. We seem to struggle against the "lesser" teams.

Liverpool see to be a little cautious against us.

3 points from 6 in the CL, 2 from 12 from 4 PL games.

Pessimistic? No, realistic.

Leicester won't be an easy game. Never is. Could be anything that game.

Atalanta are the Italian Leeds Utd. Play really good football but are incredibly attacking. That suits us down to a tee. They will cause us problems I'm sure but if they don't defend deep we will have too much firepower for them.

Liverpool will be a draw as it often is.

I guarantee Leicester will turn up against us and play their best game of the season so far, they’ve had a poor start but when United are in town they’re usually up for it.

It’s about time we beat the dippers in the league at home. Been a while. Only 1 win in 5 league games at home and just 2 wins in last 13 in all comps (H and A) against them. Shocking!

But I fear we’ll get one win at most from these 3 games and dread the ones after even more!

Atlanta are a funny one. I think they'll cause you issues, more so at Old Trafford than their place.

I think they'll cause us problems and I'll be surprised if they don't score. I just think we'll outscore them over the 90 minutes, though I'd never go as far as to say I'm confident in that prediction!

Can see us beating Leics as they have been poor.

A draw vs Atalanta as Ole hasnt done well in the Champs League.

Liverpool I think will beat us sadly.

I can only see we win against Atalanta and City. Leicester will sit deep. Only thing that gives me hope is that Fred cannot play. Leicester always choose him as trigger point to press, the FA cup last year spring to mind

I'd probably switch the first two results around but have similar expectations. We might get a draw at home to Liverpool, but wouldn't bet on it
