Last season, Tony Mowbray’s side reached the playoffs but failed to earn promotion to the Premier League.

 

This season, Sunderland are determined to get back to the top tier of the English football division.

 

 

 

Sunderland have begun the season in an impressive manner and they are currently fifth in the Championship table.

 

Mowbray’s side have been set to welcome John Eustace’s Birmingham City, who are also determined to challenge for promotion this season, to the Stadium of Light on 11th November at 3pm.

 

 

However, now Sunderland’s clash against Birmingham City has been picked up by Sky Sports for live coverage.

 

Now the kick-off time for the game is set to be rescheduled to 12.30pm.

 

 

Sunderland will welcome Watford, Middlesbrough and Norwich City to the Stadium of Light before they face Eustace’s side.
