Nottm. Forest face a trip to Sunderland at Stadium Of Light on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Forest will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 25 and win only 9 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2004, the Black Cats carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division One match.
