Match Facts
Bristol City have won just one of their last nine league games against Sunderland (D5 L3), a 2-1 away win in October 2017.
Following their 3-2 win at Bristol City last season, Sunderland are looking for consecutive away league wins at the Robins for the first time since December 1909.
Bristol City lost their last home league game against Norwich having won the previous two – not since Boxing Day 2022 have the Robins lost successive home league matches.
Sunderland are without an away league win in their previous five games (D2 L3), it’s their longest run in the Championship since March 2018 (6 games).
Sunderland’s Jack Clarke has scored eight away league goals in 2023-24, which is already one more than in his previous five seasons in the Football League combined (7).
