Sunderland boss Keane: We're not yet safe

Sunderland boss Roy Keane has warned his players there is still work to be done to secure their safety in the Premier League.

The Black Cats have boosted their survival hopes with an impressive run of three successive wins to help propel them up the table.

Sunderland are aiming for their fourth successive win at home to Manchester City on Saturday and Keane will not let his players rest on their laurels.

"Well I have always had a great belief in the players," Keane told Sky Sports News. "Again only a few months ago we were very much stuck in the bottom three and obviously we have been just above it in the last few games.

"To manage to get three wins in a row has obviously given us a much better chance, but I keep saying it, we still have a lot of hard work ahead of us and we still want to make sure we are in the Premiership next year and that is by trying to win the next game of football.

"We have won the last three and all credit to the players. They have had great belief and I have had great belief in them.

"We want to make sure we get over the finishing line and finish the season as strong as we can.

"The players aren't going to get carried away as we have to finish the job off."
