Team News

Sunderland
Bristol City
  • Mike Dodds should make a couple of changes to his midfield on Saturday with Jack Clarke and Chris Rigg both pushing for starts.
  • Corry Evans is a doubt for the Black Cats, who have four confirmed absentees for the visit of Bristol City.
  • Attacking midfielder Scott Twine is a doubt for the trip to Sunderland after picking up a knock late on against Plymouth.
  • Expect as many as two changes from Liam Manning with Joe Williams and Mark Sykes in line for recalls.

Prediction

  • Sunderland's 2-0 Good Friday win against Cardiff proved not to be a catalyst for an upturn in form as the Black Cats were hammered 5-1 on Monday by a relegation-threatened Blackburn side.
  • The managerless hosts have now lost seven and drawn one of their last nine Championship matches.
  • Nahki Wells' second-half goal was all that separated Bristol City and Plymouth come full-time on Easter Monday at Home Park as the Robins claimed all three points.
  • Liam Manning is still working to win over the fanbase, but three wins in the last four matches for the away side will certainly be helping.
