Admittedly, we didn't think we'd be catching up again so soon after our summer debrief, but the FA Cup likes to throw up surprises, and since Sunderland are heading to take on Oxford United on Sunday in the fourth round, we thought it would only be right to get our old mate George Elek (host of Not The Top 20 Podcast) back on the show! Is George surprised by how well Sunderland have taken to life in the Premier League? And after eight crazy years bouncing between the divisions, is the EFL a poorer place without us? They're currently sat 23rd in the Championship, so what has gone wrong for the U's so far this season, and does George think they can stay up? Mike Dodds is the current assistant there under Matt Bloomfield - is the honeymoon period over? What does George think will happen on Sunday?

Sunderland go into tonight's game at the Stadium of Light knowing that a win would not only preserve their unbeaten home record, but also put them level on points with tonight's opponents. Can we spring a surprise and beat Liverpool on our own turf? Join Gav, Andrew and Ant as they look towards what is shaping up to be an epic night on Wearside! Liverpool are hurting at the minute, and without Dominik Szoboszlai due to suspension, they're without a key player and, importantly, a right back. Will Sunderland smell blood? It would have been a crazy suggestion six months ago, but the Lads can go level on points with a win... so, will we beat them? Should Le Bris spring a surprise and chuck Nilson Angulo in on our left hand side to give Liverpool even more things to worry about?

Sunderland completed the signing of Anderlecht and Ecuador winger Nilson Angulo on deadline day, which led us to ask... wey, is he any good? Of course, we haven't got a clue, so we caught up with our old mate Elijah Michiels - a video scout who focuses mainly on Belgian football - to find out more about him! On today's show... The last time we chatted to Elijah he was giving us the lowdown on Chemsdine Talbi and Noah Sadiki, so what does he make of the way they've adapted to life on Wearside?

Sunderland signed 22-year old goalkeeper Melker Ellborg at the weekend, but we've never really heard of him, so we thought we'd pick the brains of someone who knows him very well - Malmö FF goalkeeping coach (and goalkeeping analyst for The Athletic) Matt Pyzdrowski! Matt tells us all about Melker's journey through the Malmö academy to the first team - a rapid yet unexpected rise! What sort of goalkeeper and character is he? Have Sunderland got a good deal?

What a strange day today is... not only are Sunderland playing on a Monday night, but today is the final day of the winter transfer window, which means there's probably going to be a whole load of chaos going on around us as we try to prepare to face Burnley! Joining Gav are Jonny and Andrew, not only to give their views on the latest transfer goss, but also to chat about what we reckon might happen tonight at the SoL! On today's show: Sunderland have made some moves in the goalkeeping department, with our former number one Anthony Patterson leaving to join Millwall on loan, whilst a new fella has arrived - 22 year old Swedish stopper Melker Ellborg! Have we done alright out of that? Sunday saw a whole host of action for Lutsharel Geertruida, who looked all set to join Premier League Champions Liverpool before a move was kiboshed by Sunlun following some lengthy negotiations. Is it a good thing that we've retained him, despite the fact he apparently wanted to leave? Could Sunderland still make a move for another player today? How important will a good home atmosphere be for tonight's game? Burnley are no mugs, despite their lowly position - so how do we approach this one? The most important question - WILL SUNDERLAND WIN?! All of this and more - get subscribed to Haway The Podcast so you never have to miss another episode of our free daily SAFC show!
