Guy Poyet wants no drama when Sunderland face Southampton in cup
GUY POYET wonders if he will have a straightforward day as Sunderland meet Southampton in the Capital One Cup tonight for a place in the quarter-finals against Chelsea.
Sunderland boss Poyet has endured a roller-coaster of emotions since taking over from Paolo Di Canio, as his team were trounced at Swansea, beat local rivals Newcastle before earning two red cards in the defeat by Hull.
Poyet said: “You know how nice it would be to have a normal game? I’d like normal, with no problems, no rain, no wind, the referee spot on, no red cards, no penalties and no own-goals.”
