How to watch Sunderland vs Blackburn

Sunderland host Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day - here is how you can watch it.

Sunderland welcome high-flying Blackburn Rovers to the Stadium of Light on Boxing Day so what could be a real Championship Christmas cracker.

It’s been a solid first half of the season for the Black Cats, and this game is sure to be an important one for head coach Tony Mowbray who will be facing his former club.

Sunderland have a few injuries, meaning we could see a switch to a 4-4-2 system, but generally the squad is looking in decent shape.
