Wales manager Chris Coleman says his team have to go in with a "bolshie" attitude when they take on Group B favourites Belgium in their Euro 2016 qualifier on Sunday.

Coleman's side are top of the group after victories over Cyprus and Andorra and a goalless draw with Bosnia-Hercegovina and have lost only one of their last eight games.

Belgium's star-studded side includes Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois, as well as Everton's Romelu Lukaku and Aston Villa's Christian Benteke, but Coleman - who can call on a superstar of his own in Real Madrid's Gareth Bale - said his players should be confident.

"We have got to go there, without being cocky, and be a bit bolshie because we have got a bit about us," Coleman said.

"We cannot go there thinking it is OK just to compete and not get anything, because it is not.

"We need to qualify and to do that we need to get points. Belgium are another team in our group so we want points off them, home or away, it does not matter.

Chris Coleman says he's had no discussions with the Football Association of Wales about Ched Evans returning to football.

"The pressure was on in the last camp and we did well, we got four points and we've got to keep the momentum going.

"This time nobody expects anything from us, but I expect us to get something because we are no mugs ourselves."

Coleman - who lost to Belgium in his first match in charge of Wales two years ago - watched Belgium beat Iceland 3-1 in a friendly on Wednesday and said he saw weaknesses in his opponents' defence, especially in the absence of injured captain Vincent Kompany.

With Wales' hopes of Euro 2016 qualification laying largely at the feet of Gareth Bale, Sky Sports looks back at the Welshman's sensational 2013/14 season

"When they attack they really go for it. Both full-backs join in at a certain time and they create a load of chances but they leave gaps and are susceptible defensively," Coleman said.

"It was really open and they like it like that, Hazard is a top player with little give and gos around the box and he can hurt you.

"They like to suck you over to one side and hit you on the other side, to get that numerical advantage in the middle of the park.

"What we can't do is start panicking if they make a few chances. We need to stick on what we have worked on.

"There is no team on the planet that can't be got at and we will make some chances."
