Sunderland, Recent FormIn their last match Sunderland enforced their superiority over Queens Park Rangers with a 3-0 away win. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 8 on target. By comparison, Queens Park Rangers managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 12 games. When playing at home this season, Sunderland has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have had a good run of form at Stadium of Light recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Ross Stewart will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Sunderland.
Bristol City, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Wigan Athletic, Bristol City had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Wigan Athletic's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Nigel Pearson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Goalscorer Mark Sykes will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Bristol City.
Bristol City suffered the disappointment of a 2-3 defeat at the hands of Sunderland the last time they met in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Sunderland in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Robins in their last 6 meetings together.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray with Elliot Embleton (Broken ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Lynden Gooch (Hip) all unavailable for selection, and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
Nigel Pearson has a number of injury concerns in his Bristol City squad to contend with: Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Tommy Conway (Hamstring), Kal Naismith (Calf) and Kane Wilson (Knee)
