The duo haven’t met since a League Cup in August 2003, when a David Artell own-goal and an injury time strike from Kevin Kyle handed the Black Cats a 2-1 win at Field Mill.
So who played that day, and what happened to them? Scroll down and click through the pages as we take a look:
9. JEFF WHITLEY
Whitley’s spell at Sunderland wasn’t a particularly fruitful one, and he later was open about the problems he faced with alcohol and drugs. The midfielder is now helping other, having become a trained counsellor and Player Welfare Executive. Photo: Mark Thompson
10. TORE ANDRE FLO
Flo failed to deliver at Sunderland, despite having netted regularly at Rangers and Chelsea. The Norwegain is back at Stamford Bridge now, working as a ‘Loan Player Technical Coach’ with the Premier League side. Photo: Michael Steele
11. MARCUS STEWART
While Flo didn’t find the net regularly at Sunderland, Stewart had far more luck in front of goal and was a real terrace favourite. The former striker is currently out of work, having left his position as assistant manager of Walsall over the summer. Photo: Bryn Lennon
12. KEVIN KYLE
The Scottish striker scored a later winner in this game, and retired from the game in 2014 - going on to take a job with Sodexo as a storeman on a ferry. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
