Sunderland will host Gillingham in an FA Cup first-round tie at the Stadium of Light this weekend with the Black Cats looking to bounce back after their poor performance against Leicester U21s in the week.
Phil Parkinson's side currently sit in seventh place in League One, just a point of the play-off places with manager Phil Parkinson saying earlier this week that his side's focus this season will be on promotion.
Gillingham have had a poor start to the season, currently in 16th place in League One, five points adrift of the relegation zone. However, the Gills may want a cup run to revitalise their season.
