Team News

Sunderland
Blackburn
  • Expect a couple of changes from Sunderland on Monday with Leo Hjelde and Romaine Mundle both pushing for starts.
  • Corry Evans is closing in on a return from a long-term ACL injury, while the home side have five confirmed absentees.
  • Centre-back Kyle McFadzean serves the final instalment of a three-match suspension on Monday afternoon.
  • John Buckley and Sam Gallagher are both doubtful for the visit to the Stadium of Light.

Prediction

  • Early goals from Adil Aouchiche and Jobe Bellingham gave Sunderland a commanding lead against Cardiff on Good Friday and it was a lead that they did not squander, taking all three points from their visit to Wales. That result ended a run of seven consecutive league games without a win.
  • Blackburn offered no response to Conor Chaplin's first-half goal last time out as they were condemned to a narrow 1-0 home defeat by league leaders Ipswich. Rovers are now winless in nine Championship matches and sit just three points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the trip to the Stadium of Light.
