Sunderland head to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship tomorrow night.

Tony Mowbray returns to his old stomping ground tomorrow night when he takes his Sunderland side to Ewood Park.

The Black Cats sit in 7th place of the Championship table after an upturn in form, with a 3-1 win at QPR on Saturday being their third win in their last four outings.

Blackburn meanwhile are level on points but a place behind in 8th, following a 2-1 win at home to Middlesbrough last time out.

Who are the match officials tomorrow?

The man in the middle tomorrow is John Busby.

The last Sunderland game that Busby oversaw was a 2-1 win for the Black Cats at West Brom in April, which saw three yellow cards for either side and a penalty for Sunderland.

In three Championship games this season, Busby has handed out a total of 20 yellow cards and one red card. 

Busby's assistants tomorrow night will be Richard Wild and Alex James, with Martin Woods acting as the Fourth Official.
