Prediction: 2-0
Preston
Sunderland will look to build on back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff City as they welcome Preston to their Stadium of Light on Matchday 37. The Black Cats have been scoring goals for fun of late and they must be high on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s clash. Winger Patrick Roberts should be fit for the midweek clash despite picking up a knock against the Bluebirds, while all Alese, Ballard, Huggins, Le Fee, and Poveda remain in the treatment room.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous five league games. As Preston having been struggling up front of late, they are unlikely to spoil Sunderland’s party at Stadium of Light. Both Milutin Osmajic and Jayden Meghoma should recover in time to face the Black Cats, while Ryan Porteous is one yellow card away from suspension.
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.
