Sunderland defender Santiago Vergini insists they'll know more about themselves in the coming weeks.
With their next three games pitting them against Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, Sunderland may yet live to regret their failure to see off Leicester City.
"These are very special games coming up," said the Argentina international defender.
"We're coming up against some of the best teams in the world, and it's a really good way to measure ourselves - both collectively and individually.
"They're going to be very tough though and we'll have to work very hard to get anything out of them and continue putting points on the board.
"I think it's difficult to say whether it was a point gained or two points lost at Leicester.
"But when you consider that we've got a very tough home game against Chelsea coming up next, then this draw could be a useful one.
"The fact that Leicester are a direct rival means it was absolutely vital that we didn't lose the game.
"It's important we don't lose our home games and particularly don't lose the ones where we're playing away against direct rivals.
"Those that are the games that are really six-pointers.
"It was vital not to lose on Saturday and now we need to look to win our home games."
