Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is hoping his team can stifle a resurgent Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday and help him keep back-to-back clean sheets for the first time this season.
Sunderland lifted themselves off the bottom of the table and into 18th place by beating Watford 1-0 on Saturday.
They next opponents United, who are unbeaten in their last eight league games, are sixth in the table, and have not lost at home since their 2-1 defeat by Manchester City in September.
And Pickford said they would have to play without fear at United to have any hope of climbing out of the relegation zone.
