Sunderland boss Gus Poyet is convinced of a big season for Steven Fletcher.
The Black Cats kickoff their campaign at West Bromwich Albion.
Fletcher is set to lead the line at the Hawthorns, and Poyet said: "I think it will be his year, I am absolutely convinced.
"There is no pressure on Fletch because he knows when you wear the No 9 at any club in the world you need to perform and score goals, but I think it is probably the best he has been physically in the last three or four years. It's perfect for him to go and perform."
