(Reuters) - Bottom-placed Sunderland will have a fighting chance of Premier League survival if they can win five of their remaining 11 games but history suggests it may not be enough, the Black Cats captain John O'Shea has said.
Sunderland, seven points adrift of safety, still have to play five of the six teams immediately above them - Middlesbrough, Hull City, Swansea City, Leicester City and Bournemouth.
