How 'dirty' are Sunderland compared to Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and other Championship rivals

Where do Sunderland sit in the Championship's fair play table?

Sunderland sit proudly on top of the Championship table as the league action gave way to the second international break of the season. Under new head coach Regis Le Bris, the Black Cats have played with a style of football that has already hinted at what could be a very promising season at the Stadium of Light.

With a quick-paced passing style and plenty of energy and intensity, Le Bris’ side have claimed some notable wins against the likes of Portsmouth, Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday - and who could forget the dramatic 2-2 home draw with Leeds United?

Le Bris seems determined to continue implementing his style on the squad he inherited during the summer - but one aspect we have not really seen is just how physical this Sunderland side can be and that is shown in the Championship fair play table.

With the help of TransferMarkt, we take a look at who are the ‘dirtiest’ teams in the second tier and see where Sunderland sit in the fair play table.
