Prediction: 1-1
West Bromwich
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadium of Light when Sunderland and WBA square off against each other in the Championship round 17. The Black Cats have drawn each of their last four league matches, but a win over WBA could see them overtake Leeds United in top position in the standings. Aaron Connolly limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Millwall, with summer signing Milan Aleksic being ready to step up. The likes of Abdul Samed, Abdullahi, Alese, Browne, Huggins, Mundle, Poveda, and Seelt remain in the recovery room.
The Baggies, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. WBA and Sunderland seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. Darnell Furlong is banned for the visiting side, while all Ajayi, Bartley, Dike, Frabotta, and McNair remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Sunderland):
Sunderland are a professional football club that have been playing their home games at the Stadium of Light since 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 49,000, but before expansion the original ground capacity was 42,000. Red and White shirts are Sunderland’s trademark and the club’s fiercest rivals are Newcastle United. The two local rivals have been contesting in the Tyne-Wear derby since 1898 and there have always been fireworks in what is one of the greatest derbies in English football. Sunderland were on the verge of dropping to the Championship in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign, but experienced tactician Sam Allardyce eventually helped the team avoid relegation.
The Black Cats have won six First Division trophies (now the Premier League), with the team lifting two FA Cup titles. Sunderland won their first FA Cup trophy in 1937, with the team beating Preston North End 3-1 in the title game. The club was founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers A.F.C.
