How to watch Coventry City v Sunderland

Sunderland head to Coventry City in the Championship this weekend.

Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray goes up against a former club of his this weekend, when he takes his side to Coventry City.

It's coming up to nine years since Mowbray took charge of Coventry City.

Since leaving in 2016, the 59-year-old has had a five-year stint with Blackburn Rovers, celebrating a year since he took charge of Sunderland this week.

But his side have started this season - Mowbray's first full season in charge - poorly. The campaign opened with back-to-back defeats in the league before the Black Cats beat Rotherham United at home last weekend.

Last season's play-off finalists Coventry City have taken four points from their opening three.

They've lost key players in Gustavo Hamer and Viktor Gyokeres but they remain contenders in the Championship, with Mark Robins the longest-serving boss in the Championship.

Fans can, however, catch this game live on ESPN+, with kick off from 3pm.
