Sunderland and Burnley aim to maintain their flawless starts in the Championship as they clash at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
The home team has yet to allow a single goal, while the visitors boast the most potent attack in the league.
Although Scott Parker has only been in charge at Burnley for two games, he has already won over any doubters regarding his appointment.
The Clarets have comfortably triumphed over Luton Town and Cardiff City, impressively netting nine goals in their first 180 minutes of the season.
In both matches, the goals were evenly distributed, emphasizing the consistent danger Parker's team poses in the attacking third, fueling growing expectations that another Championship title could be on the horizon.
Additionally, there have been seven different goal scorers, though one of them, Wilson Odobert, has since transferred to Tottenham Hotspur.
Counting matches from the latter part of last season's Premier League, Burnley has suffered only one away defeat in their last four competitive outings, a 2-1 loss to Spurs.
Similarly to Burnley fans, Sunderland supporters may have been uncertain about the club's decision to appoint Regis Le Bris as the new manager.
But the Frenchman has given the second-tier season an unexpectedly strong start. He first saw the Black Cats win 2-0 against Cardiff City.
In their rematch, Sunderland soundly defeated the Owls 4-0 at the Stadium of Light, defying many predictions that Sheffield Wednesday would win.
In light of the heightened expectations, Le Bris's performance in this crucial test of character will be evaluated before they attempt to bolster the team during the last week of the transfer market.
Le Bris ought to go with a similar Sunderland starting lineup from the convincing victory over Sheffield Wednesday, barring any concerns with fitness.
Players such as Romaine Mundle and Nazariy Rusyn had to wait on the replacements' bench after each of the attacking foursome contributed to the four-goal triumph.
Adil Aouchiche might be brought in on the left wing, since Jack Clarke is rumored to be his route to Ipswich Town.
Earlier this week, Burnley announced the signing of Bashir Humphreys from Chelsea. Depending on if a suitable offer is made for the Republic of Ireland international, Humphreys may replace Dara O'Shea.
