Sunderland head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 home win against Watford in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Watford managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Their boss Tony Mowbray will be rightly happy with his team of late, having seen them score 16 goals in their last 6 matches while only letting 3 over their own goal line. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Stadium of Light.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Sunderland, Jack Clarke will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.

Middlesbrough will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Cardiff City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Cardiff City had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Michael Carrick will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in their 18 most recent away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Riley McGree will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 league games.
Sunderland vs. Middlesbrough Head to head
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Middlesbrough who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Sunderland.
The Boro have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Sunderland; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 5 games away to them.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ajibola Alese (Unknown), Dennis Cirkin (Muscle), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Pierre Ekwah (Leg), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Jay Matete (Knee surgery) and Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Middlesbrough Injury News
There is only really one injury concern for the Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick ahead of this clash, with Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) missing out, which gives Carrick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
