This is the first FA Cup meeting between Sunderland and Stoke since February 1976, the Black Cats winning a fifth round replay 2-1 at Roker Park.

Sunderland have won their past two home games against Stoke, including a 2-1 Championship victory last month.

They last won three consecutive home games against the Potters in all competitions in September 1986.
