Both teams are coming off a win in midweek. Sunderland took 3 points off the reigning champions Manchester City and have been doing well this festive season. Having said that, Danny Rose is ineligible to play against his parent club so Martin O’Neil could use Phil Bardsley as a replacement. John O’Shea looks to be returning as well.
AVB has the team playing with real belief at the moment in a run that has seen us take 16 points from a possible 21. Although quite frankly, I am not sure whether he has a starting formation in mind. The 4-0 win at Villa Park was the perfect tonic for us as we continue this string of festive fixtures. I am concerned about players tiring and hopefully, the return of BAE and Scott Parker to starting roles would help. Adebayor needs to pick up his game a notch as he has been woeful in the recent matches.
We have the quality to win it as another good result would continue to build the players confidence in AVB’s system of play.
