Win tickets to see Sunderland AFC take on Bristol City

We have a pair of tickets to give away to Saturday’s match, which kicks off at the Stadium of Light at 3pm.

The stats are in Sunderland’s favour - and they could really do with their form over City continuing this weekend.

In fact, you have to go back almost 24 years to the day since the Robins last defeated Sunderland, when they gained a 2-0 victory on October 30, 1993.

Since then, the two teams have met on five further occasions, with the Black Cats winning twice and it ending in stalemate three times. The last time the sides met was on February 13, 1999 at Ashton Gate when a penalty from Kevin Phillips gave Sunderland a 1-0 win on their way to winning the First Division with 105 points.

•To be in with a chance of winning a pair of East Stand tickets for Saturday’s match, answer this question: Which current Sunderland player spent time on loan at Bristol City last season?

A) Adam Matthews

B) Lee Cattermole

C) Lamine Koné

Email your name, answer and daytime contact details to [email protected] by tomorrow at 9am. The winner will be contacted on Friday morning and they, or a representative, will need to be available to collect the tickets from the Echo offices in Houghton during working hours on Friday.
