Match Facts
Sunderland are looking to win consecutive league games against Middlesbrough for the first time since September 2008.
Middlesbrough have lost three of their last five away league visits to Sunderland (W1 D1), with their one win in this sequence coming in the Premier League in August 2016.
Sunderland have won three of their last four league games that have kicked off at 12:30 (L1), averaging 2.8 goals across those four matches (11 in total).
Middlesbrough ended a run of eight away league games without a win with their 3-2 victory over Watford, last winning successive such games in February.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has lost only two of his 10 league encounters with Middlesbrough since managing the club (W4 D4), winning three of his last four home league games against them (D1).
