Match Facts
Sunderland have won just one of their last eight home league games against Bristol City (D4 L3), a 2-0 win back in December 1994.
Bristol City are looking to complete a league double over Sunderland for the first time since the 1991-92 campaign.
Sunderland have lost seven of their last nine league games (W1 D1), conceding 16 goals across those losses.
Bristol City have won each of their last two league games without conceding; the Robins last won three league games in a row in December, while they last did so without conceding in February 2020 under former manager Lee Johnson (run of four).
16-year-old Chris Rigg netted his second league goal of the season for Sunderland last time out – since 2004-05, the only players with more than two Championship goals while aged 16 are Ryan Sessegnon (5), Theo Walcott (4) and Jude Bellingham (4).
