Sunderland can go top of the Championship this weekend as they welcome Norwich to the Stadium of Light for a clash in front of the TV cameras.

The Black Cats have relished their status as a Championship club following an overdue promotion from League One via the play-offs last term.

Boss Alex Neil has guided his young squad to fifth in the league, while strikers Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms are joint-second in the top scorers chart with three apiece already this term.

Norwich have Josh Sargent to thank for providing their first two wins of the season. The US striker has scored three goals in his last two outings to secure six points for his team.

However, the Canaries had initially only picked up one point from their opening three games. Dean Smith is under pressure to mount a bid for promotion.

Our prediction: Sunderland v Norwich

Sunderland have two victories to their name but, in reality, their performances have warranted more. They were moments from victory over QPR but let a two-goal lead slip in added time, while they were unlucky not to get something away to league leaders Sheffield United despite playing an hour with 10 men. Neil is building something special on Wearside and will fancy his chances against his former team on home soil.

Our prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Norwich (10/1 at bet365)
