Karl Robinson has been very attacking in his tactics this season and the Yellows are the highest scorers in the third tier, despite sitting eighth in the table.

Sunderland are seventh and have looked far tighter at the back of late, it will be a very interesting clash of styles as Alex Neil locks horns with Robinson.
