Team News

Sunderland
Southampton
  • Tony Mowbray will once agian be without star winger Patrick Roberts, who is sidelined with a minor hamstring issue.
  • Expect one change to the side that faced off against Coventry last weekend with Alex Pritchard returning to the starting XI out wide.
  • Russell Martin should hand full league debuts to new signings Mason Holgate and Flynn Downes.
  • Centre-back Jack Stephens suffered an injury during the early stages of the win against QPR and will miss Saturday's trip to the Stadium of Light.

Prediction

  • Sunderland demonstrated some impressive defensive organisation to keep Coventry at bay last weekend as they ground out a goalless draw on their trip to the CBS Arena. Tony Mowbray's men kicked off their season with back-to-back league defeats but have since responded with two strong results.
  • Southampton responded well after being pegged back by QPR last time out, scoring with fewer than 30 minutes left on the clock to secure a 2-1 home win against Gareth Ainsworth's side. The Hampshire-based club have dropped just two points in four league outings so far this season.
