Sunderland midfielder Grant Leadbitter says they cannot take lightly West Brom this weekend.

He told the Sunderland Echo: "Everybody thinks West Brom are as good as down, but they are not yet. They are still fighting for their lives.

"You never know what will happen in football - if they can put three or four wins together, then they have to believe they might get out of it.

"It won't be easy on Saturday. West Brom are a bit unfortunate to be in the situation that they are. I think, of the sides that came up, they are possibly the best footballing side of the three.

"They have shown all season they are capable of scoring goals, but they concede them, too, and that is what we have to capitalise on."
