This is the first meeting between these two sides since Sunderland's miserable relegation from the top flight in the 2016-17 season, in which the two sides faced off four times, with a pair of FA Cup clashes alongside the league meetings.
On both occasions at Turf Moore, Sean Dyche's men won out, winning 4-1 and 2-1, while both games at the Stadium Of Light finished goalless.
Since then, Burnley have consolidated their position as a genuine, stable top-flight side, while the Black Cats have dropped down to the third tier, failing to come back up.
It's been business as usual for Burnley so far this season, who look set to be competitive again in the Premier League by taking four points from Wolves (draw), defeat (Arsenal) and win (Southampton).
Their last game on home soil was an emphatic 3-0 win against Southampton, and Dyche will be looking to add a cup run to the club's league stability.
Visitors Sunderland have had a good start two tiers below. They're currently 4th and unbeaten, taking 11 points from a possible 15, while they ably got past Accrington Stanley with a 3-1 victory in the last round of the League Cup.
Every game that the Black Cats gave played so far this season has featured a goal at both ends, while Chris Maguire - who scored a hat-trick in the weekend's 3-1 victory over Wimbledon - is the most likely danger man.
We expect the Premier League quality of Burnley to win out, but expect the visitors to give a good account of themselves and even breach their backline.
