Sunderland remain unbeaten in League One so far this season.
Sunderland remain unbeaten in League One this season and currently sit firmly inside the play-off positions after seven games.
The run of results that Jack Ross’s side have achieved is even more impressive by the amount of injuries the Black Cats have suffered.
And summer signing Jon McLaughlin stated nobody will come close to challenging Sunderland once their injured players return in an interview with the Chronicle.
When speaking about his new side’s chances of success this term, McLaughlin said: “It would be great if we could get everyone fit and firing the competition for places would be great and give the gaffer a real headache.
“We’ve still got a couple yet to come back and we’ve got a team and a squad where if everybody’s fit there will be no stronger team. No one will come close in this division.”
McLaughlin has been one of Sunderland’s early-season stars, especially in their recent 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town, when the 31-year-old saved the first ever penalty at the Stadium of Light since its opening in 1997.
The Black Cats are set to welcome back even more players this weekend as they travel to Burton Albion, as Aiden McGeady could play for the first time this season.
