Team News

Sunderland
Swansea
  • Steven Fletcher has missed the last two games with a back injury and is unlikely to start.
  • Emanuele Giaccherini was forced off last week at Burnley and missed the midweek CO Cup clash along with Connor Wickham. Both remain doubtful here.
  • Ricky Álvarez could come back into the starting lineup.
  • Wilfried Bony served his suspension in the league cup in midweek and will be available again this weekend.
  • Garry Monk may consider changing things up after successive defeats.
  • Tiendalli is a doubt while Amat and Britton remain absent.

Prediction

  • After winning their first 3 games of the season, Swansea have lost consecutive games and need to get back to winning ways.
  • Sunderland, still without a win all season - but having drawn 4 of their 5 games so far - and having thrown away a lead against Stoke in midweek, are in desperate need of a confidence boost. Faith in manager Gus Poyet is fast running out.
  • After these sides' respective starts to the season, Swansea will be favourites to come away with a win, but perhaps a draw is a more likely result.

  • i dont think its going to be a draw, though cats may score a goal. 2-1 for guests with Bony scoring at least once
