Ricky Sbragia has told his players not to take anything for granted on the final day of the season.[LNB] Sunderland are well placed to avoid relegation and will definitely stay up if they beat Chelsea at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.[LNB]They could even lose and survive, depending on how Hull City and Newcastle fare, but Sbragia is aware of the worst possible scenario.[LNB]Bradford staged a remarkable escape in 2000 when David Wetherall's goal sealed a decisive victory over Liverpool, and Sbragia has warned his men to leave nothing to chance.[LNB]He said: "I am confident we still stay in the Premier League. I am confident - but we have got to go and do it.[LNB]"I can remember Bradford playing Liverpool and nobody gave Bradford a hope in hell, and they won 1-0, so it can always happen.[LNB]Bravery"We have got to go out there and be a bit braver and take the game to them.[LNB]"Anything can happen in football, and we hope we can come out with a win."[LNB]Sbragia accepts there is nothing false about Sunderland's position in the table after a campaign of many ups and downs.[LNB]He said: "It's happened over the 38 games, we have not been consistent enough.[LNB]"From our point of view, we have conceded too many and not scored enough, so it is down to consistency.[LNB]"We have had many chances to get out of the position we are in - we have not taken them and we are down to the final game."[LNB]
