Team News

Sunderland
Swansea
  • Jason Denayer should keep his place in a more advanced position in midfield after the win over Hull, with no fresh injury concerns to contend with.
  • George Honeyman got the nod over Seb Larsson last time out and that is likely to be the main competition for a spot in the starting XI once more.
  • Paul Clement is still without wingers Routledge, Montero and Dyer so he will likely stick with a narrow 4-3-1-2 formation with the full-backs providing the width.
  • After the win over Everton changes are unlikely, meaning Ki Sung-yueng and Leon Britton will keep their places ahead of the likes of Fer and Cork in midfield.

Prediction

  • A huge game for the visitors on Saturday, Paul Clement will hope that Sunderland's win over relegation rivals Hull has given his side the warning they need not to be complacent here.
  • The Black Cats weren't given a prayer against Marco Silva's men, who boasted a superb home record under the Portuguese, but proved last weekend that they won't throw in the towel despite having been relegated.
  • Swansea are of course desperate to avoid the same fate and having taken the upper hand can't afford to slip up in such a winnable game. They should have both the quality and momentum to see them through at the Stadium of Light.

    Two scenarios for this game in my opinion - Either Sunderland will take it easy, so that Swansea can save themselves, or they will go out playing as hard as they can, so to f*ck up even more the battle for survival... This game is not to be played on FT score, as it can go in any direction. More likely under 2.5 goals.

    Sunderland 0 - 1 Swansea Very close to call. Wouldn't bet on this match. But victory will mean more for Swansea than the Black Cats.
