The itinerary for today's FanZone experience was published by the club yesterday - but Wearside has today been battered by showers of rain as sleet, as well as cold winds.

Volunteers from Sunderland Foodbank and The Red And White Army will still be at the FanZone area today collecting donations of food, toiletries and cash to help those in need.
