Sunderland's return to Championship action against Millwall could get new kick-off time due to World Cup

Sunderland's return to Championship action against Millwall could be given a new kick-off time as a result of the World Cup.

The Championship is currently on a four-week break because of the international tournament that gets under way in Qatar on Sunday. However, Sunderland will return a week earlier to face Millwall at the Stadium of Light, a rearranged fixture that was originally scheduled for Saturday, 10 September, but was postponed following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Black Cats will host the Lions on Saturday, December 3, for what is currently scheduled to be a 12.30pm kick-off. However, if England finish runners-up in Group B, they'll be set to face the winners of Group A on the same day, with kick-off at 3pm - which should still leave enough time to watch the Three Lions.
