Sunderland striker Michael Chopra believes winger Andy Reid could be the catalyst to spark off his season. Chopra has scored just three times this campaign and feels his former Nottingham Forest team-mate holds the quality he needs to end his drought.
"What helps me is when people find my runs, and in Reid we've got a player who can," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"At Cardiff we had Stephen McPhail and whenever I made a run he could find me and hopefully Reid can do this season."

Reid has already made an impact in a Sunderland shirt after stepping off the bench in the 2-0 win over Wigan at the Stadium of Light.
It came as no surprise to Chopra who feels the club's supporters are yet to see the full extent of the Irishman's talent.
He said: "I always knew how good a player Reid is. His passing ability is fantastic and I believe a lot of our players will benefit from that."
