WE'RE READY TO FIGHT AGAIN, SAYS LE FEE

- By SAM ALLEN Football writer

THE words from those within the Sunderland camp reflect the positive mentality that exists within the group ahead of the latest big test in the Premier League.

Following their impressive draw at Anfield against reigning champions Liverpool, the Black Cats now take on another incredibly tough assignment away at Manchester City this afternoon.

Regis Le Bris' men have defied outside expectations with the amount of points they have picked up at this stage as a newly-promoted side, which sees them sitting sixth in the table.

They had already drawn with leaders Arsenal recently at home, before travelling to the champions in midweek and picking up another point, which could have easily been three.

"Of course, we were disappointed because the [Liverpool] goal was late," said playmaker Enzo Le Fee on the club website.
