Championship action resumes Friday night as league leaders Burnley awaits mid-table Sunderland at Turf Moor. 

The Clarets have a thirteen points lead at the top of the Championship table and will look to maintain their position by getting a favourable result against The Black Cats.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is upbeat. His team could win the Championship this season and quickly return to the Premier League next season.

Visitors Sunderland on the other hand, are in mid-table 53 points and seven points adrift of the promotion playoffs position. The Black Cats have been inconsistent lately, which puts their chances of making the top six in doubt.
