Black Cats get new date with Royals

Sunderland's postponed Barclays Premier League game against Reading has been rescheduled for next month.

The fixture was called off on August 25, just the second weekend of the season, due to a waterlogged pitch as rain made the Stadium of Light surface unplayable.

The match has been arranged for Tuesday, December 11 at 7:45pm.
