Former Wales manager Chris Coleman is fully focused on getting a win for his Sunderland side rather than feeling any nostalgia as he prepares to face Fulham for the first time since he left the club.

Sunderland have not won at home since 2016 and most recently lost 3-1 to Reading and drew with Milwall at home.

Coleman said: "Fulham is an ex club, of course, but it's all about Sunderland for me, it doesn't matter who the opposition are.

"Fulham tomorrow, Wolves last week, it doesn't really matter to me, it's another 90 minutes and it's another opportunity to get some points and get us away from where we are.

"I don't think too much about the opposition, it's all about us."

Nevertheless Coleman had memories of when Sunderland were on a similar home run in 2006 - they hadn't won a home game that season - and found their win against his Fulham team.

He said: "It was a replay actually, the first one, Fulham, we were winning 1-0 and the referee cancelled it because of the snow.

"We had to come up a few weeks later and lost it 2-1 and I think that was their first win."
