It's a long time since Oldham played Sunderland - 9026 days to be precise since Sunderland edged Oldham 1-0 at Roker Park.

Since then Oldham have always been a division or more below Sunderland.

Tonight @HarryKewell's @OfficialOAFC entertain @SunderlandAFC.

It'll be the 44th clash between the teams, the first one 110 years ago.

Of the previous 43:
Oldham wins 13
Draws 14
Sunderland wins 16
Oldham goals 57
Sunderland goals 70

Oldham haven't won against Sunderland since May 1990, a 3-2 win at Roker Park.
Sunderland are in miserable form, without a win in 7.

But they have a new manager in charge. New manager bounce?

A familiar face, Lee Johnson, who spent 709 days as Oldham manager between March 2013 and Feb 2015.

No manager has managed a calendar year in the job since...
What's going to happen tonight?

Sunderland favourites. 49% to win according to the bookies, our @SEconomists model says *only* 39% to win. Either way, the more likely of the teams.

Despite that, 1-1 is most likely (13%), followed by 0-1 (11%) and 1-0 (10%).
