Team News

Sunderland
Plymouth
  • Dan Ballard picked up a knock late on against Middlesbrough, but Michael Beale expects to have his star centre-back available this weekend.
  • Barnsley loanee Callum Styles could make the bench for the first time this weekend.
  • Ian Foster could hand a full league debut to wing-back Lino Sousa, who has joined on loan from Aston Villa.
  • Michael Cooper and Jordan Houghton are both sidelined for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Sunderland had Nazarii Rusyn to thank last time out as his late goal helped Sunderland to rescue a point away from home against Middlesbrough. Michael Beale is still yet to win over the fanbase at the Stadium of Light, and a run of one win from their last four league games isn't helping.
  • Plymouth secured a vital three points in their last league outing against Swansea thanks to an early Morgan Whittaker goal, but couldn't carry that form into midweek as they suffered an extra-time defeat against Leeds in the FA Cup. Ian Foster's men have moved eight points clear of the relegation zone thanks to consecutive Championship triumphs.
