  • The Black Cats are back on track after taking seven points from the last nine available.
  • Norwich needed just two minutes to get their noses in front against a stout Burnley defence last weekend, but second-half goals from Zian Flemming and Josh Brownhill ultimately left them empty-handed.
  • Johannes Thorup's side remain stricken with injuries and have taken just one point from their last three league games.
