Check out how to watch Sunderland v Preston in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Sunderland will hope to give their supporters some New Year cheer when they welcome Preston North End to the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats’ form on their own patch in 2023/24 has been mixed, winning seven and losing five of their 12 fixtures, with their latest being a 3-0 defeat to Coventry City on Michael Beale’s managerial debut two days before Christmas.
Sunderland, who parted company with Tony Mowbray at the start of the month in a bid to boost their promotion push, will fancy their chances of securing a play-off spot if they can stamp out their bad habit of losing at home.
Preston earned a 2-1 victory when the two teams met in this season’s reverse fixture in August. Will Keane and Jack Clarke traded goals before Mads Frøkjær-Jensen secured all three points for the hosts at Deepdale.
It sparked a five-game winning streak that saw the Lilywhites contesting the automatic promotion spots, although their inconsistent form has seen them gradually drop down the Championship table.
