Sunderland, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Sunderland and Watford in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 44% and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Watford, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Tony Mowbray will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 4 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stadium of Light, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Mowbray of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Sunderland will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Sheffield United, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Sheffield United's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They are providing themselves with a good foundation for decent results away from home with their recent run of 4 clean sheets. They have not found any consistency in front of goal this season, having been unable to find the back of the net in 7 of their 10 league matches this season.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Emil Riis Jakobsen will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Sunderland in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Preston North End.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 0-2 win for Preston North End.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadium of Light, Sunderland have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. The Lilywhites will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Sunderland.
Sunderland has a poor track record in the league when they host Preston, losing in their last 2 home games.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Broken foot), Leon Dajaku (Stomach) and Ross Stewart (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Preston manager Ryan Lowe ahead of this clash, with Ben Woodburn (Sprained ankle) missing out, which gives Lowe a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
