CHRIS COLEMAN said Sunderland will still “make a fight of it” after another damaging defeat.

AXEL TUANZEBE admits the pressure is rising at Aston Villa.

Steve Bruce’s Villa have slipped off the pace in the automatic promotion race.

They host Reading tonight after losing to strugglers QPR and Bolton and drawing at Hull.

On-loan Manchester United defender Tuanzebe (above) said: “When things come to the end everyone always seems to have that bit more in them.

“Definitely the pressure is rising but we have a good enough squad to come through.”

Reading’s Liam Kelly will hope to be involved after missing Friday’s win over QPR through illness, but Yann Kermorgant is suspended after his red card against QPR.
