Sunderland prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Stadium Of Light on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 9 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stadium Of Light was less than a year ago, in January 2004, the Black Cats carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division One match.
