Reasons to be cheerful...

Did a bit of digging on the number of games we and our lower table rivals have against the current top seven teams, I wouldn't be putting folding money on Sunderland!

Swansea 4 (3 away)
Cardiff 5 (3 away)
Stoke 5 (2 away)
Palace 6 (2 away)
Fulham 6 (3 away)
Norwich 6 (2 away)
West Ham 7 (4 away)
West Brom 7 (2 away)
Sunderland 7 (6 away)

I love the stats, indicates others have a tougher run in...
