Sunderland prepare to entertain Birmingham City at The Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 12 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Stadium of Light was less than a year ago, in March 2010, with Sunderland running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Premier League match.
