Sunderland face Middlesbrough in the Championship at the Stadium of Light on Saturday as Régis Le Bris faces Michael Carrick for the first time.
The Black Cats have faced the Teessiders four times since winning promotion back in 2022 with the record reading two losses, one draw and one win.
That single victory came in January 2023 during Sunderland’s first season back in the Championship under Tony Mowbray, with the Wearsiders winning 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.
Here, we take a look at the players fin Mowbray’s Sunderland squad that day and what has happened to them since:
