Sunderland, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sunderland players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Swansea City. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Swansea City who had 10 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches.
There will be mixed feelings from The Black Cats, while they've been undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, they've drawn the last 2 of these games in a row.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Stadium of Light, Ross Stewart will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Blackburn Rovers. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 3 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
Leam Richardson will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 9 games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Will Keane has scored in each of Wigan Athletic's last league game away from home.
Wigan Athletic will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sunderland, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
In their previous 3 encounters with Sunderland, The Latics have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Wigan has lost the last 2 times they've faced Sunderland in the league.
Ross Stewart has scored in each of Sunderland's last 2 league games against Wigan.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Broken foot), Leon Dajaku (Stomach), Ellis Simms (Toe) and Ross Stewart (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Leam Richardson ahead of this clash, with Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Richardson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
