There are into four minutes of added time at the end of the first half at the City Ground, where both sides are creating chances.

Sunderland have not kept a clean sheet in any of their past 13 league games, conceding 28 goals since a 2-0 win at Hull in the Premier League in May.

If they can keep one this afternoon, they would move out of the relegation zone, given other scorelines as they stand.
