We said: Sunderland 2-0 Rotherham United

 Although they are missing their star forward and have lost both league games thus far, Sunderland do still possess plenty of quality and it surely only a matter of time until they get up and running in the Championship. We envisage them putting up a first victory of the campaign on Saturday, with the Millers not expected to cause them too many problems on the road. Read more.
