Sunderland end a three-week wait to return to the Stadium of Light when they host Cardiff City in a Championship fixture on Sunday afternoon.

Since the resumption of domestic action, Tony Mowbray’s side have had back-to-back away games at QPR and Blackburn Rovers. They won both of those matches 3-1 to make it four victories from their last five league outings.
