Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says he has no plans to offload any of his stars this winter.

The Black Cats secured their second win of the season, both of which have come under Allardyce, on Monday night with a 1-0 result at Crystal Palace.

The former West Ham United boss has breathed life into the flailing campaign of the Wearside outfit but insists that it is the players who should be congratulated for turning things around.

"The players have given me more confidence today, I try to guide them but they are the ones who go out and do it," said Allardyce after Jermain Defoe's 80th-minute goal landed the Black Cats a narrow win.

"They've got to be the saviours, not me. I can guide them, and help them along the way.

"You stay calm, cool and collected and try to show a bit of confidence in them, and hope they build confidence. And the only way that happens is by getting results like tonight.

"I read in the paper yesterday I was selling Defoe. This is the trouble with the window coming in January.

"I'm selling everyone apparently, then I'm asking them to play. The only one (who might move) is Liam Bridcutt. Everyone else I'm asking to come to the fight.

"I want to get the maximum from the players I have."
