- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Sunderland AFC launch into their encounter with Charlton Athletic FC.

- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chris Gunter suffering a number of foals already.
