Midfielder's warning to team-mates
Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole has warned his team-mates they may have to win their final three matches of the season to stay up.
The Black Cats have given themselves a real chance of survival with a great recent run in the Premier League but they are not safe yet and Cattermole says there is still a long way to go.
As they prepare to face Manchester United on Saturday, Cattermole,26, told the Sunderland Echo that one more win may be enough to survive but, on the other hand, they may need to win all three.
"A few games ago, we were looking to get 10 points," he said. "After the last three games, we're three points away from that now.
"Another win might be enough, but we have to look to win every game. "I know the next game is Man United, but we've done well away from home all season.
For what's at stake for us, I think we're as committed as anyone at the minute.
"Whether that's against Man United under a new manager or Cardiff. We've got to match everyone in every department."
