Sunderland v AZ Alkmaar (Europa League)
Coverage of the UEFA Europa League league phase match from the Stadium of Light. Sunderland begin their first European campaign in more than half a century against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, having secured Europa League football after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season. The Black Cats will be hoping home advantage can provide the perfect start to their eight-match league phase campaign, while AZ arrive in strong domestic form after winning their opening five Eredivisie matches. With both sides looking to make an early impression in the new-look competition, a memorable European night on Wearside is in prospect.
