Nottingham Forest match preview - Sunderland-Mad

 

Nottingham Forest match preview

Last updated : 09 January 2004 By Footymad Previewer
History of the Sunderland v Nottingham Forest fixture

Sunderland play host to Nottingham Forest at Stadium Of Light on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 23 and lost only 9 of the 45 games.

The last time the two teams met at Sunderland was back in November 1997, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
