Team News

Sunderland
Watford
  • Only one change is expected from Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray in midweek with Abdoullah Ba pushing for a recall on the right.
  • The Black Cats have six confirmed absentees for the visit of Valerien Ismael's Watford side.
  • Two attacking changes are on the cards from the away side in midweek as Rhys Healey and Matheus Martins both push for starts.
  • Ken Sema is Watford's only injury concern as Valerien Ismael prepares for the trip up north.

Prediction

  • Sunderland were leading 3-0 just after the half-hour mark on Friday night as they kicked off the weekend's EFL action by hammering basement boys Sheffield Wednesday on their own turf. After a frustrating start to the campaign, Tony Mowbray's men are up and running with four wins from their last five league outings.
  • Watford's miserable start to the season took another turn for the worse on Saturday when they were beaten 3-2 on home soil by a Middlesbrough side who were in the relegation zone two games ago. The Hornets have lost back-to-back games ahead of their trip to the Stadium of Light and have dropped to 20th in the table.
