Plymouth
Sunderland
  • Michael Obafemi and Rami Al Hajj could make their full league debuts on Saturday afternoon.

Prediction

  • Plymouth were denied a valuable point against Stoke in their last league game when Million Manhoef scored late on for Steven Schumacher's side.
  • Wayne Rooney is still waiting for his first league win in charge of the Pilgrims with his side sitting 22nd in the standings heading into gameweek five.
  • Sunderland flexed their muscles against newly-promoted Portsmouth last time out, scoring three times before the hour mark en route to a dominant 3-1 away win at Fratton Park.
  • The Black Cats are the only side in the division with a 100% record after four league games, and strong summer recruitment is setting them up well for an exciting campaign.

  • This is the one result I really didn’t expect and got totally wrong, well done Plymouth

  • @Bilcao Please go back to predicting against us. Our results have been the opposite of your prodictions.

  • 1.65 is very short

  • It’s frustrating when an international break occurs when you’re flying so we’ll see if Sunderland can continue their top of the league status. Rooney slump to continue …. 1-3
