Sunderland have given their support to boss David Moyes but say his comments that a BBC reporter might "get a slap" were "wholly inappropriate".
Moyes has apologised for what he said to Vicki Sparks after an interview following a draw with Burnley in March.
Meanwhile, four English Premier League matches are currently underway.
Manchester United and Everton are currently locked at nil all.
In other three matches Leicester City and Sunderland, Burnley and Stoke City and West Brom and Watford are also currently locked at nil all.
