Two upcoming Sunderland games have been picked for live TV coverage on Sky Sports with the fixtures rescheduled. The Black Cats' game against runaway Championship leaders Burnley at Turf Moor, which was due to take place on Saturday, April 1, will now be played on Friday, March 31, with kick-off at 8pm.
And Sunderland's home game against Hull City on Good Friday has also been selected, with the date of that fixture staying the same but kick-off changing from 3pm to 5.30pm. These two latest fixtures will take to 18 the total number of times Sunderland have been shown live on TV this season.
The Black Cats' Championship season-opener against Coventry City at the end of July was picked, as were their games at Sheffield United and at home to Norwich in August. In September, their games at Middlesbrough and Reading were shown live, and in October their trip to Blackburn was also picked.
