Crystal Palace skipper Scott Dann says no one at the club fears the top sides in the season run-in.
Out-of-favour Dann has had to watch Palace's mini revival from the bench where the team has won three straight games to move out of the relegation zone.
The Eagles face a daunting prospect where they go up against each of the top six in their remaining 10 fixtures – but Dann is not fazed by this.
"People say we have a tough run-in, and yes on paper it is, but every game in this league is tough, with different pressures in different games," he said.
"Having the last three results we have had in the last three games gives us confidence to go and play against those so-called bigger teams and get a result.
"And I think if we keep performing as we have been doing, there is no reason why we can't beat one of those teams."
The 30-year-old centre half says he is ready to slot back into defence when called upon for the business end of the campaign.
"I think it is important – for the last few games I haven't played too many minutes and I need to be ready for when you back in," he said.
"I want to keep myself fit - I missed the game at Stoke and since then we have been doing well and won three games on the bounce, and kept three clean sheets as well.
"When the team is doing well, you don't have to change so, I am a team player and I want us to keep winning – if we keep winning I will be happy."
