Saturday 3rd December. Stadium of **** 12:30 hrs K/O.
This is only the 6th league meeting between the two since 2004 - and only the third since 2017!
In 2017 the Mackems managed a 2-2 draw at their place - in front of a crowd just over 27, 000.
Both Millwall goals that day were scored by George Saville on the 16th and 20th minutes.
Lewis Grabban [remember him?] was one of the two Sun`lun goal-scorers that day.
Table
One place below us - on goals scored - means a win for Millwall, in 6th place, would be the preferred result.
Last time out, the Mackems narrowly beat Birmingham City away at St Andrews.
They were leading 2-0 but Lucas Jutkiewicz scored in the 78th minute, which lead to a very nervy end of the game. For Sunlun, Matete was booked for time-wasting in the 88th minute and Clarke was booked for tripping in the 7th minute of added time. Today presents quite a challenge - with Millwall in 6th, experiencing their usual good start to the season.
Form:
Sunderland have scored 5 goals out of the last 4, but are struggling to maintain any consistency. Compare this to Boro`s 9 in 4 - conceding only three: its no surprise we are above current leaders Burnley and Sheffield United in the form table. Burnley have scored ten, but leaked eight in the last four! Sheffield United, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Rotherham following their trancing of Burnley, but could only manage a draw v Cardiff - a Baldock goal on the 64th minute securing all three points.
Top Scorer
Sunderland`s Ross Stewart - is a doubt for today with a thigh injury and has been absent since August. A big miss with 5 in 7, and three assists. His continuing absence doesnt bode well for the Mackems. Stewarts future may be in doubt - but hes got a lot to do to match our Chuba!
But will he be there come the end of the season?
