NORWICH head an unbeaten quartet at the top of the Nationwide League after Craig Bellamy's hat-trick helped Bruce Rioch's men to a 4-2 win over Queen's Park Rangers at Carrow Road.
But Sunderland, who were denied a return to the Premiership in June, will slug it out with Watford for the outright leadership of the First Division at the Stadium of Light tomorrow night.
The Hornets kept their winning run going with a 4-1 triumph at Bristol City, the team which followed them up from the Second Division last term, but their manager, Graham Taylor, said: "When we go to Sunderland there will be no hiding. All eyes will be on us and it will be a bigger test than anything we've had so far."
Norwich, and especially the young Welshman Bellamy, certainly grabbed their opportunities against QPR. Bellamy's treble included two goals in the first six minutes.
Rangers could have done with some of their former player Danny Dichio's finishing. The tall striker, who left them for a spell in Italy, scored twice for the Wearsiders in the 5-0 thrashing of Tranmere.
