Sunderland faced Reading in the Championship of England on February 11. Sunderland came out on top, securing a 1-0 win.

On the 84th minute, Patrick Roberts netted the only goal of the match, tipping the balance in Sunderland's favor and ensuring the win.

As Sunderland and Reading prepare to meet again, the memory of Sunderland's 0-3 win in their Championship face-off from 3 years ago still lingers. After a setback against Fulham on February 8, Sunderland are eager to get back on track in this match, as they look to break a three-match winless run. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three matches.

Reading approach this game after a draw with Watford on February 4. They've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across seven consecutive away matches.

This Championship encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Sunderland and Reading throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Sunderland’s top finisher Ross Stewart and Jack Clarke have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Tony Mowbray, remains effective. In Championship, Stewart has been Sunderland’s standout scorer with ten goals, while Embleton remains their top assist provider in the competition with two. Adding further support are Amad Diallo, Ellis Simms and Ellis Reco Simms, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Reading’s offensive unit, under the tactical direction of Paul Ince, has leaned on Tom Ince, their main scorer, and Lucas Joao, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Ince leads Reading’s scoring charts in Championship this season with seven goals, while Lumley has been their leading creator in the competition with one assist.
