Team News

Sunderland
Watford
  • Tony Mowbray could recall midfield duo Patrick Roberts and Edouard Michut on Saturday, with Pierre Ekwah and Abdoullah Ba dropping to the bench.
  • Danny Batth and Dan Ballard are both still sidelined, so expect another makeshift back four from the hosts.
  • Chris Wilder could make a handful of changes this weekend with Jeremy Ngakia, Yaser Asprilla and Keinan Davis all returning to the starting lineup.
  • The visitors will be without eight first-team players for the trip to the Stadium of Light.

Prediction

  • Sunderland claimed a vital three points last Sunday as they beat play-off chasing rivals West Brom 2-1 at The Hawthorns. Tony Mowbray's men are unbeaten in seven league outings and climbed into the top six over the weekend.
  • Watford had no response to an early Ozan Tufan penalty last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 on the road by a Hull side who attempted just two shots during the game. The Hornets have lost four of their last six Championship games and have dropped into the bottom half.
