It’s fair to say, things have not gone well at Brentford since Dean Smith left for Aston Villa. Under replacement boss Thomas Frank, the Bees have picked up just four points from a possible 30.

And, as they bid to improve on their run of eight defeats in their past 10 games, they welcome struggling Bolton to Griffin Park.

Wanderers, who haven’t won since September, have slipped to 23rd in the table, four points behind Brentford. The pressure is most certainly on both sides.

A lot of water has passed under a lot of bridges since Portsmouth last met Sunderland in the Premier League in February 2010.

In the time since Pompey have been relegated three times and promoted once, while the Black Cats find themselves in League One after successive relegations.

However, the good times look to be returning to both Fratton Park and the Stadium of Light, with the hosts leading the way in League One while the Wearsiders are in third.

A lot has changed at the two clubs in the past nine years but, as he was that day, midfielder Lee Cattermole is again in Sunderland's starting XI.

He'll be hoping this visit to Fratton Park goes better than the last one, he was one of three players sent off in the 1-1 draw at Fratton Park back in 2010.
