Sunderland
The return of Sunderland should be recognized as successful – the club has 4 points scored in 2 rounds. The defeat in the League Cup from Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 0:2 stands apart: the guests put up a reserve, clearly setting priorities, besides, the hosts tried to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans for the defeat in the selection playoffs in the summer. Sunderland have quite a fighting squad, while the club looks like an average Champion.
CRC
QPR cannot solve the problem of returning to the Premier League in any way, now the club is on the 8th line with 3 points. In the League Cup, the team has already safely left the tournament, losing to Charlton in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regular time. QPR often plays aggressively in attack, but leaves a lot of space in the middle of the field – the coach cannot find a balance yet.
