Sunderland will take on Middlesbrough up next in the Championship at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Sunderland won their first four league games of the new season but that run was brought to an end by Plymouth in their most recent outing. They will want to waste no time in getting back on another winning run.
The visitors are 10th in the standings, with just two wins from their first five games. They desperately need a strong performance this weekend.
