Mark Hughes has given his Fulham players three more tests before the end of the season.
The Cottagers boss has guided the London club into the top half of the table with a good recent run but he wants the squad to continue working hard as they prepare for their final three matches of the season, beginning with Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Monday night.
"We've still got challenges with three games to go," Hughes told the club's official website.
"If we get maximum points in every game we have left we will achieve the highest point tally that any Fulham side has reached in the Premier League.
"That's a challenge for us and something we'll use as motivation going into these last remaining games. It would have been easy to switch off after the Bolton game to be fair because we were safe but I didn't get an inkling that that was what the players were feeling when we went up against Sunderland. In the second half I thought we were excellent and we took the game away from them.
"We look strong and fresh - the enjoyment in our play is there for everyone to see. We don't look tired, jaded or mentally strained. We look forward to every game we've got left and it's a shame the season is close to finishing because we're really playing some great stuff and getting some positive results.
"We're going into games expecting to play well and expecting to win. Everybody now understands their responsibilities and the demands that are placed on them. They're producing at the moment. It was difficult at the beginning of the season but as we come to the climax of the season we're really pleased with what we've produced. "It's about making sure we're still achieving. To finish in the top ten would be outstanding and I've always felt we've got the quality to do that."
