Sunderland's game against Millwall this weekend will be screened live on Sky Sports. Following the World Cup break, the Black Cats resume their Championship campaign against the Lions at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Kick-off remains unchanged at 12.30pm, with the earlier timeslot already chosen to avoid a clash with the World Cup last 16 match on that day which could potentially involve England. The match - which was originally due to take place on September 10 -was part of the slew of fixtures postponed following the death of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
It was rescheduled for Saturday, December 3, which means that the two clubs' World Cup break has been shortened by a week, while the remainder of their Championship rivals not returning to action until December 10. Both clubs agreed to the early restart and the EFL also gave their permission for the change.
