Check out how to watch Sunderland v Aston Villa in the Premier League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Sunderland are back at the Stadium of Light on Sunday hoping to continue their strong return to the Premier League against slow starters Aston Villa.
The Wearside ground has been a fortress for the Black Cats through the opening weeks of the season and has helped them hit the ground running in the top flight.
Home wins against West Ham and Burnley have seen Régis Le Bris's side take seven points from their first four games to climb to sixth.
They will fancy their chances of adding to that tally when Aston Villa arrive in the North East. The visitors have been hugely disappointing this term and are in the relegation zone with two points from their first four games.
Unai Emery's side ended their wait for a first goal of the season in a midweek Carabao Cup victory over Brentford, which needs to be a turning point as they look to get their season back on track.
