Team News

Sunderland
Portsmouth
  • Regis Le Bris could make one change on Sunday with Dennis Cirkin replacing Aji Alese at left-back.
  • Sunderland have eight confirmed absentees in their squad ahead of this gameweek 26 clash.
  • John Mousinho could opt for an unchanged starting XI when Portsmouth travel to the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
  • Regan Poole and Kusini Yengi remain among seven confirmed absentees in the away camp.

Prediction

  • Goals from Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor secured Sunderland's most important victory of the campaign on Wednesday as Regis Le Bris' men edged past promotion rivals Sheffield United.
  • With none of the top three teams winning, the Black Cats have moved within two points of an automatic promotion spot.
  • Portsmouth produced one of their most impressive performances of the season so far on New Year's Day, storming to a 4-0 home win against Swansea after scoring twice inside the opening half-hour.
  • John Mousinho's side moved out of the bottom three as a result of that victory but will do well to follow it up with a point on Sunday.
