Manchester United and Sunderland will lock horns for the first time in almost nine years when they face one another in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Ex-United boss David Moyes was in the Sunderland dugout and Zlatan Ibrahimović was scoring for the Red Devils the last time these sides traded blows, with unthinkable changes having occurred for both clubs in the years that followed.

The last time Sunderland visited Old Trafford its mystic powers were already fading, but its reputation as an unconquerable fortress has completely dissipated since. United, who are currently nine places behind their weekend visitors, no longer stride out confidently in front of their own supporters.

Saturday’s duel between the struggling Red Devils and high-flying Black Cats promises to supply drama one way or another, with Ruben Amorim particularly desperate for victory as pressure continues to pile high on his shoulders heading into the October international break.

Can Sunderland heap more misery on the Portuguese coach? Here’s how you can find out by tuning into the action live.
