Sunderland defender Sebastian Coates has claimed that the team will find it "difficult" to get a result against Watford this weekend.
The Black Cats, who are second from bottom in the Premier League table, will welcome the promoted side to the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Sam Allardyce's charges have taken 12 points from 15 games, winning three games, losing nine and drawing three.
"I think their whole team is strong, compact, and it will be difficult for us," The Chronicle quotes Coates as saying. "We need to get the three points.
"They came in this season to the Premier League and they've shown that they can win and play well."
Watford are 10th in the standings, nine points off relegation.
