Who is the referee for Sunderland vs Cardiff City?

Sunderland host Cardiff City in the Championship on Sunday.

Sunderland return to their home ground after a successful past week on the road.

Tony Mowbray saw his side win 3-1 at QPR last weekend and then at his former club Blackburn Rovers by the same scoreline in the week.

The Black Cats now sit in 4th place of the Championship table as things stand, compared to Cardiff City who sit in 10th after a positive run of form.

The Welsh club beat Coventry City in midweek and have now won four of their last five in all competitions.

Who is the referee on Sunday?

Stephen Martin is the man in the middle on Sunday.

He's overseen just two games in the Championship this season but has handed out a total of nine yellow cards and one red card.

Martin has refereed Sunderland on seven occasions with the Black Cats winning just once under him.

His assistants for this weekend's game will be Mark Dwyer and Matthew McGrath, with Gavin Ward the Fourth Official.
