Where to sit at the Etihad Stadium

Sunderland's schedule

Sunderland have a varied run of fixtures ahead, including an away trip to Brighton, a Europa League league-phase match against Torreense in Portugal, an away Premier League game at AFC Bournemouth, a further European fixture against Lech Poznań, and a home match against Leeds United at the Stadium of Light.

The wider picture
