    today will be quite a breezy one up north as this weather front wreaks havoc across the northern UK

    What will NP do today stick to the last starting line up .. but Bell instead of Cornick? play 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 to give Sunderland something to think about?

    HEAD-TO-HEAD
    BRISTOL CITY

    Matches won: 17
    Matches drawn: 14
    Matches lost: 16

    Top goalscorer: Nahki Wells and Tommy Conway (9)
    Top assists: Nahki Wells (6)


    SUNDERLAND

    Matches won: 16
    Matches drawn: 14
    Matches lost: 17

    Top goalscorer: Ross Stewart (11)
    Top assists: Jack Clarke (7)

    Victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the League One play-off final last May ensured an overdue return to the second tier of English football for Sunderland.
    And, currently occupying a spot inside the Sky Bet Championship’s all-important top-six, Black Cats supporters will be all-to pleased with their sides efforts this season.
    Consistency has been the name of the game for Tony Mowbray’s men, only going more than three games without a victory on one occasion, a run of three draws and a defeat back in September.
    Sunderland have lost just two league games since December brought with it the return from the World Cup break, as Sunderland ended up on the wrong side of the scoreline at home to West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City.
    The Black Cats come into this one on the back of three victories from their last four Championship outings.

    Anything other than a defeat is a good result

    I'd like to think NP will return to the set up and players against Norwich.

    wind gusts of 40mph and a possible damp second half with a wind chill taking temp to around 2c so wrap up warm!

    A tough game ahead of us up north and the weather looks absolutely atrocious. Well done to all of those who made the long trip to Sunderland (1,200) as part of 40,000 overall crowd - WOW we only wish. The weather looks to have improved since Nigel was interviewed.

    Rob Atkinson goes down on the touchline and looks uncomfortable and the stretcher is coming out. Let's hope it's not serious, but Kalas comes on to replace Rob. Not what we wanted but we have to deal with the loss but it gives Kalas a chance to get back for almost a full game.

    Mehmeti almost gets his first goal and looks very tasty with his moves.

    Max needs to get the ball under control on his kicking.

    We're starting to leave gaps at the back and need to up our game a bit.
