Sunderland are just one of the 79 teams that could see themselves safely through to the second round of the FA Cup without having to lift a finger.
The draw, which takes place tonight, will see one lucky side sent through to the second round without lifting a finger.
Bury's expulsion from the English Football League in August means that when the 47 EFL teams enter the competition, there will be an odd number of teams remaining.
32 non-league outfits will also be in the draw and one of the 79 clubs will be automatically put through to the next round.
The Football Association have announced that the last team left to be drawn out of the pot will be given a bye.
The Black Cats will enter the famous competition, which they have won twice, in the first round alongside the rest of League One and Two.
It's the second season running that the North East side have entered at this stage following their relegation from the Championship in 2018.
Last season, Jack Ross' side beat Port Vale in round one, only to be embarrassed by Walsall at the Stadium of Light who came away with a 1-0 win following an initial 1-1 draw at the Bescott Stadium.
The prize money for those sides that makes it past the first round is £36,000 which could make a huge difference to one potentially lucky non-league side if they are awarded a bye into the second round.
