Team News

Sunderland
Preston
  • Abdoullah Ba will return to the starting XI on Monday afternoon after Patrick Roberts suffered an injury during the draw against Rotherham.
  • Timothee Pembele could enjoy a rare start at right-back in place of Jenson Seelt.
  • Ryan Lowe could make two changes for Monday's clash with Ched Evans and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen returning to the side.
  • Emil Riis made his long-awaited return on Friday night, meaning Robbie Brady is the away side's only injury concern for the trip to the Stadium of Light.

Prediction

  • Sunderland were forced to wait until the 73rd minute to find a way past Viktor Johansson in the Rotherham goal on Friday night as the Black Cats salvaged a point from their visit to the New York Stadium.
  • The home side have won just one of their last four Championship fixtures ahead of the visit of Preston on New Year's Day, although they remain just two points behind seventh-placed Hull.
  • Preston were unable to capitalise on a late George Byers red card as they were beaten 1-0 at home by relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
  • Ryan Lowe is under increasing pressure from Lilywhites fans following three defeats in his side's last four league games.
