Coyle beat Wigan 3-1 at the DW Stadium last time out and are desperate to build on that against the Black Cats.
He said: "We have got a big game against Sunderland. It was great to see and hear so many fans last week but we have to give them something to smile about on a consistent basis.
"We did that last year at the Reebok and we have to look to try and make it a fortress again. We know that it will be a tough game - I watched Sunderland last week and they put in a strong performance.
"We are well versed on what Sunderland have got and it will be a test, but, as always, it is one that we are looking forward to."
