How Sunderland's away form compares with Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Oxford United, Plymouth Argyle and Doncaster Rovers

Sunderland have a huge game away at Oxford United on Saturday.

Their four games away from the Stadium of Light under new management has yielded six points in total, including one win over Wigan Athletic and three draws against AFC Wimbledon, Lincoln City and Charlton Athletic.

But how have they generally performed away from home this campaign? And will their previous results in away games give supporters hope that they can have a successful end to the season?

Here, we take a look at how the League One table would look if only games away from home counted this season:
