Away from the Stadium of Light in recent weeks, the Black Cats have tasted back-to-back league defeats to Rotherham United and Coventry City.
These defeats have left Sunderland in 9th place in the league and four points behind Luton Town in 6th, the team that occupy the final play-off position.
It has been a disappointing couple of games for Tony Mowbray’s side, but with a clash against former boss Alex Neil and Stoke City on the horizon, there are hopes they can turn this form around.
