Sunderland veteran Bolo Zenden admits it's about revenge today against Newcastle United.
The Black Cats were embarrassed earlier this season 5-1 by Newcastle.
Zenden said: "It gives you an opportunity to redeem yourself, not to talk about revenge, but to redeem yourself and say, 'Listen, the first one, we didn't really participate and we didn't cope with the occasion'.
"Maybe this time around, it is different for most of the boys as well because we are playing at home and we will have the fans behind us.
"Maybe for some, that will make a big difference and they might feel a bit more at ease, I don't know.
"It's a big game and either away or at home, it's always enjoyable to play in. There's absolutely no fear factor.
"At the end of the day, it's another game. The way I look at it, the most important fixture is the next one.
"In this case, it's the Newcastle derby, but in the situation in which we are in the league, why should we fear it?
"We are not there for nothing, we did get the results, and they are not far behind us either, so it's a case of keeping the distance."
