Sunderland under-23s’ Premier League 2 fixtures have been confirmed.
Elliott Dickman’s side begin their campaign at Eppleton Colliery Welfare on Friday 11 August when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur, kick-off 7pm.
The Black Cats then face two away matches at Liverpool and Derby County before they begin their Checkatrade Trophy campaign at Scunthorpe on Tuesday 29 August.
Further away trips at Chelsea and Manchester City follow in September as the Lads’ tough start continues.
Dickman's side will also enjoy trips to Pride Park, the Etihad, Emirates, Old Trafford and Liberty Stadium, where they round off their Premier League 2 campaign in April 2018.
