Exactly one month ago today, Jack Ross' side earned a point against 2nd place Peterborough United despite being down to 10-men - and little fans did fans know that such performance would spark a four-game winning streak.

As a result, the Black Cats sit one point outside the top two with a game in-hand, but a win at Home Park could fire them ahead of schedule.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off at Home Park is at 3pm on November 3, 2018.
