Sebastian Larsson has dismissed relegation concerns at Sunderland.
The shot-shy Black Cats have won just one league game this season and haven't scored a goal in more than eight hours of football.
Larsson said: "We're well aware we have not lived up to expectations yet, but hopefully we can turn that around very soon.
"Am I thinking about any relegation battle? Not at all.
"There is only a quarter of the season gone. There are too many good players here for that."
