THE Brewers return to home soil tomorrow afternoon when they host Sunderland at the Pirelli Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship (3.00pm)
SEASON SO FAR


After relegation from the Premier League last season Sunderland would have been looking to bounce straight back to the top flight, although it has worked the complete opposite. The Black Cats currently sit at the foot of the Championship table having won just one game in the league this season. That victory came back in August when they beat Norwich City 3-1.
No team has drawn more games than Sunderland so far this season, with eight under their belt.
