For perhaps the first time this season, there has been some positivity surrounding Sunderland, after Chris Coleman guided the club to just their second victory of the Sky Bet Championship season last weekend.

Goals from James Vaughan and George Honeyman last weekend secured a 2-0 victory for Sunderland over Burton Albion, as Coleman dragged the club off the foot of the Championship table in just his second fixture in-charge.
