Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris says his side "will have to manage a tough game" when face Norwich at Carrow Road on Tuesday.
The manager told BBC Radio Newcastle: "They are a good team - really strong in possession with many threats to score, to run in behind, to dribble, to play over, to play round. Many options in this team."
With Norwich fighting for an outside chance of play-off qualification while Sunderland will confirm their spot with a positive result, Le Bris also acknowledged the "two different dynamics".
"For us, we still have to build this momentum," he said. "Every game, whatever the opponent, our squad, the team line-up, we want to be consistent.
"The progress of the team is not linear but I think for example at West Brom we showed a very strong consistency, out of possession especially.
"So this experience will be really interesting to keep learning, to keep pushing as a team, to keep improving different elements to our game."
