Prediction: 0-1
Sunderland
Following a 3-1 loss to Preston, Bristol City will look to give fans something to cheer about when they take on Sunderland in the Championship round 14. The Lilywhites are eager to escape the danger zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion-chasing Black Cats. The likes of Bauer, Brady, Evans, and Keane are out of contention with injuries for the home side, while Milutin Osmajic has yet to serve his ban.
Sunderland, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Queens Park Rangers at the weekend. Sunderland aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible and given Preston’s poor defensive display in the defeat to Bristol City, away win should be considered. Jobe Bellingham serves first of his three-game ban following his sending-off in the draw with QPR, while all Poveda, Seelt, Huggins, Patterson, Ballard, Alese, and Abdul Samed remain in the recovery room.

Highlighted Team (Sunderland):
Sunderland are a professional football club that have been playing their home games at the Stadium of Light since 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 49,000, but before expansion the original ground capacity was 42,000. Red and White shirts are Sunderland’s trademark and the club’s fiercest rivals are Newcastle United. The two local rivals have been contesting in the Tyne-Wear derby since 1898 and there have always been fireworks in what is one of the greatest derbies in English football. Sunderland were on the verge of dropping to the Championship in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign, but experienced tactician Sam Allardyce eventually helped the team avoid relegation.
The Black Cats have won six First Division trophies (now the Premier League), with the team lifting two FA Cup titles. Sunderland won their first FA Cup trophy in 1937, with the team beating Preston North End 3-1 in the title game. The club was founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers A.F.C.
