Sunderland defender John O'Shea admits they face a huge couple of weeks.

O'Shea knows just how significant next weekend's trip to Wolves and Blackburn's visit to Wearside seven days later could prove.

He said: "You see the attendances we are getting, the fans coming to support us and especially at home, we haven't had as many wins as we would have liked.

"That's something we have got to change very quickly because if you want to stay in the Premier League, your home form is supposed to be key.

"We are going to have to definitely change that. We are away next week, but we have got a good enough belief to get three points at Wolves and then get three points at home to Blackburn. But that's easier said than done."
