Reading

Ashton Gate Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Bristol City and Reading, the two mid-table teams.

Sunderland

All eyes will be on Turf Moor when Burnley and Sunderland face each other in the Championship derby on Friday evening.

Luton

Sunderland play host to Luton at their Stadium of Light in the Championship round 38. The Black Cats suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league matches, and, as a result, they have slim playoffs chances. The hope, though, dies last, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Hatters. The likes of Amad Diallo, Dennis Cirkin,... Read More...
