Team News

Sunderland
Bournemouth
  • Sebastian Larsson is suspended for the hosts, while David Moyes is without Paddy McNair, Duncan Watmore, Jan Kirchhoff and Bryan Oviedo through injury.
  • Jack Rodwell could come into the XI in place of Darron Gibson from the side that lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
  • Rodwell, Gibson, Jason Denayer and Lee Cattermole are all carrying knocks.
  • Eddie Howe is without Callum Wilson, Adam Federici, Andrew Surman, Jack Wilshere and Dan Gosling for the trip to Sunderland.
  • Lewis Cook is set to come in in place of Gosling in the middle of the park alongside Harry Arter.
  • Bar that, the rest of the XI should be unchanged from the 4-0 thumping of Middlesbrough.

Prediction

  • A 1-0 loss at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday means Sunderland have now failed to win in nine, losing their last seven. The Black Cats can be relegated this weekend if the fall to defeat and results elsewhere go against them and manager David Moyes needs a victory here if they are to pull off the great escape.
  • Conversely, Bournemouth have failed to win in seven on the road, but have lost just one of their last four. The Cherries secured a 1-1 draw in this fixture last season, yet should be confident of keeping a clean sheet against a Sunderland side that has failed to score in eight of their last nine league fixtures.
  • Bournemouth have the attacking means to potentially relegate Sunderland here.
