Paul McShane is loving every moment of life at Sunderland in the Premiership.
He added: "We deserve to be in the Premier League and that's the attitude we have to take into every game. The whole point of this club getting back into the top flight was to challenge the big clubs like Chelsea.
"We have shown already that we have not lacked confidence in big games.
"We gave a good account of ourselves at Man United and Arsenal. We lost both those games, of course, so we have to work out a way of going one better and we have to believe we can get something."
