SUNDERLAND
The Black Cats will be determined to establish themselves back in the top flight.

PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE
The Stadium of Light has dominated Sunderland's Premiership history just as it stands over the city's landscape. The state-of-the-art venue was a pipe dream for supporters when the new competition kicked off in 1992. Sunderland were a struggling Second Division outfit and facilities at Roker Park were insufficient for a successful top-flight club. Optimism was raised as foundations were laid at Wearmouth and the team responded. The Wearsiders set up a grand finale for weather-beaten Roker with promotion to the Premiership in 1996. But a century of football at the old arena ended in relegation after Peter Reid's side suffered a final-day defeat to Wimbledon. And a year on, Sunderland were pipped to promotion in their debut season at the new ground, losing a momentous Wembley play-off final to Charlton on penalties.
