Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens says his team-mates must prove they can beat different types of opposition when they entertain Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Unexpected victories against Manchester City and Arsenal at the start of Michael Carrick's stint as head coach until the end of the season have catapulted United into the top four for the first time this season.
There is four points between them and seventh-placed Fulham, meaning European qualification, the stated aim at the start of the season, is now well within their grasp.
But Lammens knows United must prove themselves against different kinds of opposition.
The Belgian was not at Old Trafford when Fulham came from behind to draw and were unlucky not to win at Craven Cottage in August.
Fulham boss Marco Silva offered a detailed explanation afterwards for how his side turned the game around.
With five wins in their last eight games, Fulham are exactly the type of team United have struggled against, and recent home draws against West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves, plus a defeat by 10-man Everton, are part of the reason why Ruben Amorim lost his job.
"Sometimes, they are the most difficult ones, the ones you 'have to win'," said Lammens.
"We know we can play against those better teams, so now we have to win against those teams who are maybe a little bit more difficult to play against, who play with low blocks.
"If you want to be a great team, you have to win against those teams as well."
