Sunderland will be hoping to kickstart a Carabao Cup run like in 2014 as Tony Mowbray’s side host Crewe in the first round on Tuesday night.

The Black Cats lost against Manchester City at Wembley in the 2014 League Cup in what was their first final appearance in the competition since 1985.

While a cup run is important, Championship side Sunderland’s main focus of the season will be securing promotion to the Premier League and they’re expected to be fighting to finishing in the top six come the end of the campaign.

Mowbray’s men, who lost their Championship opener against Ipswich at the weekend, were defeated in the playoffs last season against Luton, who went on to secure their place in the top flight.

Crewe, meanwhile, finished mid-table last season in League Two and they drew their opening fixture 2-2 against Mansfield on Saturday.
