Sunderland are ready to welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stadium Of Light on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 10 of the 56 games.
The previous match played between the two at Stadium Of Light was within the last three years, in November 2004, with Sunderland running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Championship match.
