Prediction

  • Sheffield Wednesday turned in arguably their most concerning performance of the season so far when they travelled to Wales last weekend, losing 3-0 on the road to a Swansea side who were winless prior to kick-off. The Owls are now rock bottom with no wins and two points to their name after eight games, and defeat here could cost Xisco Munoz his job.
  • Sunderland's momentum was halted somewhat last Sunday when they were beaten 1-0 at home by a resurgent Cardiff side thanks to a late winner from defender Mark McGuinness. Despite that defeat, the away side will remain confident after securing back-to-back wins on their travels.
