Sunderland
Sheff Wed
- Regis Le Bris should revert back to the same starting XI that beat Cardiff following a miserable Carabao Cup defeat to Preston on Tuesday night.
- Winger Ian Poveda remains a doubt and will likely miss the visit of his former club, while centre-back duo Jenson Seelt and Dan Ballard are also unavailable.
- Danny Röhl watched on in delight last weekend as his men thrashed Plymouth, so expect an unchanged starting XI from Sunday's visitors.
- Goalkeeper Ben Hamer remains Sheffield Wednesday's only confirmed absentee for the trip to the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland were very impressive destroying Sheff Wed.
i think the Owls are underestimated by the bookies in this league . They had a fantastic end to last season , look to have a ppointed a new and very astute German manager and I thinkthey will go well this year. I have backed them in the outrights and to finish top 6 atdecent prices. This is an away win for me and 3.40 should be taken
@Isaac2000 u sure abt.....bcos am staking a whole lot of cash on diz exact game
Sunderland always flatter to deceive and unexpectedly lose games they are sure to win. Wednesday turn up full f confidence. You’d expect a draw but I’m siding … just … with a dodgy goal to win the game for Wednesday. 1-2
@Bilcao Two in a row now. Keep predicting against Sunderland and I'll be happy
