Paulo Sousa has sent out a warning that Swansea City will be at their best at home to Barnsley following last week's miserable defeat at Bristol City.The Swans boss believes his players have "turned the page" since that loss which saw their poor run stretch to one win in eight.
Swansea have slipped to sixth in the Championship play-offs and are now only two points ahead of chasing Blackpool.
"If we're at our best level we can beat everyone in the Championship," he said.
"We want to finish well this season and we want to keep the position we've had these last four months.
"I believe that for next Saturday, we will be at our best."
Sousa, in his first season in charge at the Liberty Stadium, believes the players deserve to be where they are in the table and achieve promotion to the Premier League.
The Swans recovered from a slow start to the season and embarked on an 11-match unbeaten run which helped them to push towards the Championship play-offs and on their way to setting a new club-record 23 clean sheets.
They have been in the top six since December and started March with an eight-point gap over the chasing pack, but that lead, not helped by a midfield injury crisis, has now been cut to just two points with three games to go.

"My players deserve all the things because it's something I keep repeating, it's a pleasure to work with them," said Sousa, who won back-to-back Champions League titles as a player with Juventus and then Borussia Dortmund.
"I'm never satisfied with myself but of course we've achieved where I wanted to achieve at the beginning of the season.
"When I arrived, the chairman [Huw Jenkins] asked me to save ourselves and to stabilise in the Championship for one or two years more and then we can prepare better in the future.
"Straight away I put the target higher because I'm always like that.
"I like to have challenges and big challenges and for me from the beginning this is a big challenge. Everyone around me said I was crazy.
"I believe I can achieve important levels.
"I put this target very high and at this moment in the present, it's not enough for me, it's not enough for the players - they deserve much more than that."
