Coleman targets repeat

Fulham manager Chris Coleman is keen to replicate last season's dramatic victory against Chelsea when the two teams meet at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The Cottagers beat Jose Mourinho's side 1-0 towards the end of last term and Coleman is eyeing a repeat performance, despite his side's current injury problems.
"We're not going into Saturday's game thinking we'll get a hiding. We want to get something out of this," he said.
"It's a derby and they're the champions. We have to have the belief we can take something from the game.
"It was a sweet victory (last season) because we hadn't beaten Chelsea for years. The way we beat them was pleasing as well.
"It was a great atmosphere - the best I'd seen for ten years. It was a great feeling and there will be a full house. We have a depleted squad but I'm still looking forward to it. The players are looking forward to it.
"A result for us against Chelsea would be massive psychologically."
