Sunderland prepare to entertain Millwall at Stadium Of Light on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 3 of the 16 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stadium Of Light was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Millwall inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Black Cats in a F.A. Cup match.
