Sunderland look to bounce back from their disappointing Premier League defeat over the weekend when they host Huddersfield Town in the EFL Cup second round at the Stadium of Light.
Regis Le Bris’ men marked their Premier League return in style with a 3-0 triumph over West Ham, but couldn’t keep the momentum rolling as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat against Burnley in their most recent outing.
The Black Cats haven’t had the best of luck against Huddersfield either, dropping two of their last three encounters. Still, with a hefty £150 million squad overhaul fueling fresh optimism, fans will be expecting a statement performance this time around.
Huddersfield arrive with momentum under Lee Grant, having won five of their six matches this season and conceding just three goals in League One. The Terriers edged Leicester City on penalties in the first round and also shut out Stevenage last weekend to secure back-to-back clean sheets.
Their record on the road has been mixed, but with 10 goals scored already in league play, they will see Sunderland as vulnerable and a chance to spring a cup upset.
