Head to Head

Sunderland are unbeaten in six of their previous nine matches in all competitions. The Black Cats won three and drew two of seven pre-season fixtures.

Régis Le Bris’ outfit started the new Championship season with a comfortable 2-0 win at Cardiff City.

A much-changed Sunderland side lost 2-0 at Preston in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. The North East side conceded in each half and couldn’t respond despite 12 shots and six on target.

Midfielder Jenson Seelt and defender Dan Ballard are out. 

Sheffield Wednesday Form


Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in three consecutive matches. The Yorkshire team ended their pre-season with a 0-0 draw with Leganes before back-to-back wins.

Sheffield Wednesday began the Championship season with a commanding 4-0 home win against Plymouth.

Danny Rohl’s team followedup with a 2-1 win at Hull in the EFL Cup. Charlie McNeil scored in the first minute and Hull hit back eight minutes later. McNeill added a second goal to secure the Owls’ victory.

Verdict

Sunderland are likely to field a stronger starting XI compared to their EFL Cup defeat in mid-week. Le Bris will want to impress on his home debut and Sunderland can take a point from in-form Sheffield Wednesday.
