Bristol City vs Sunderland: Kick-off time, TV coverage, Sky Sports details & how to watch for £14.99

Sunderland will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat at the hands of Swansea City last weekend when they travel to face fellow promotion hopefuls Bristol City on Good Friday.

The Black Cats are already guaranteed a spot in this season’s Championship play-offs, but will be hoping to rekindle some momentum after a lacklustre display at the Stadium of Light. Reflecting on his side’s display against the Swans in a post-match press conference, head coach Regis Le Bris said: "It's a disappointing result, especially at home. We expect more. We wanted to win but it wasn't possible, we had a lot of the ball but we didn't create many chances. It was difficult to build up under their pressure, they were well organised and to be fair it wasn't easy to find a solution. We didn't find a good rhythm.”

For their part, Bristol City also dropped points at the weekend, drawing 1-1 with QPR. The Robins currently find themselves fifth in the table, 12 points adrift of Sunderland in fourth, and will be aiming to reinforce their own play-off prospects with a valuable win over the Black Cats.
