West Bromwich Albion boss Pepe Mel says their clash with Sunderland is a final.
Monday's 3-1 loss at Manchester City was preceded by a five-game sequence in which Albion won twice and were only beaten once.
The Spaniard said: "Saturday is the final. There is only one match.
"We've played under pressure recently in games against Cardiff (a 3-3 draw), Norwich (a 1-0 win) and Tottenham (another 3-3 draw), and in these three games we've done very well.
"In the last six we've won two and drawn two, so I believe we are ready.
"The City game really was very difficult, particularly with us being 2-0 down inside 10 minutes.
"But some of the performances we have seen recently are those we need to see in order to keep ourselves up."
