Bottom of the Premier LeagueSunderland host Manchester City on Sunday, but boss David Moyes remains confident his players can avoid the drop.
"The players are doing everything they can - in training and in games - to stay in the Premier League," said boss David Moyes, whose side are looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat.
"If they keep doing that we'll have a great chance."
"You have to have two or three different game plans because Man City can play in many ways with many different players.
"Against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur we played well and we have to do that again."
