Sunderland boss Gus Poyet fears their old boys when facing Bradford City in the FA Cup today.
Ex-Sunderland pair Jon Stead and Billy Knott could feature against their old club.
Poyet said: "They all know what it would mean for our fans and how frustrated they would be if we were beaten.
"They are in a great position to do something special.
"They have done it already, it's not something new to them. They reached the Capital One Cup Final two years ago.
"Their win at Chelsea showed anything can happen and I don't remember so many Premier League teams being out at this stage of the competition."
