It has been a turbulent start for Sunderland, losing three consecutive games this season.

The Black Cats have lost their opening two Championship games and were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Crewe Alexandra.

Perhaps one of the problems has been the defense since they’ve failed to protect their goal even when they’re in pole position.

Rotherham United surrendered a two-goal lead as Blackburn Rovers came from behind to secure a draw at the Aesseal New York Stadium last weekend.

Ahead of Saturday’s fixture, The Millers will be without Fred Onyedinma due to a red card during the 2-2 draw with Rovers.
