Sunderland striker Connor Wickham insists they have nothing to fear going into a crunch number of games.
The Black Cats play host to leaders Chelsea on Saturday and champions Manchester City four days later before a trip to Liverpool next weekend.
"We had the same situation last season when we faced Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United in quick succession, but we managed to pull off something remarkable there," he told the club's official website, safc.com.
"We aren't going to fear anybody and we know we can do it from our performances last year, so we just need to play the way we have been playing and hopefully it'll happen again.
"We just need to get that final touch or final ball. The gaffer has emphasised that over the course of the season because we have probably had too many draws which we could have won.
"If we can start taking our chances and relaxing in front of goal we will be able to pick up more points soon enough."
