Sunderland midfielder Carlos Edwards is excited about the prospect of his first Premiership campaign.

The Trinidad & Tobago international declared: "I've seen the fixtures and it's great, I'm really excited about it now.

"Don't get me wrong I was excited about winning the Championship last season and I was looking forward to the new season in the Premier League, but it's only when you see the fixtures that you start to think about it.

"It's only then that you look at the big games and think, yeah, I want to play in those games."
