Sunderland are preparing for their first away trip in the Championship since a defeat to Fulham in April 2018.
They travel south to take on Bristol City this weekend as they search for their first win of the season following an opening day draw with Coventry City.
Meanwhile, the Robins are yet to pick up a point after conceding a last minute winner to Hull City last weekend.
The two sides’ last meeting was certainly dramatic, with the Black Cats claiming a point despite being 3-0 down after 70 minutes.
Two own goals and another from Aiden McGeady ended the match 3-3 and left Chris Coleman’s side in 23rd place, three points from safety.
Here are today’s rumours...
