Jack Colback has admitted he does not mind how Sunderland perform in Sunday's Wear-Tyne derby as long as they win the game.

As ever in a derby, many fans of either side would be happy enough with a point which means they can go to work on Monday morning and give as good as they get, knowing defeat would leave them in the firing line until at least the return on Tyneside in April. But that is not a feeling which will be shared in the home dressing room this weekend. Colback said: "No, definitely not. For us, it's a home game and it's a home game we will be looking to win. "Fans will be saying they would take a draw because that's how intense it is and the thought of defeat to them, they don't want to see it happen. "By saying they would take a draw, it's probably meaning they really don't want to lose. "But we will be looking to win and hopefully we will give them that win."
