Sunderland, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Coventry City will not have sat easily with the Sunderland squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 71% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Coventry City managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Tony Mowbray will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 15 games. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Mowbray will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
It's been a mixed run of form for Sunderland recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ross Stewart will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Stadium of Light having scored 5 goals in Sunderland's last 6 home games in the league.
Stoke City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Millwall will have left the Stoke City squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 72%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Millwall had 7 shots on goal with 1 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 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Nick Powell 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 Stoke City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-1 win for Sunderland.
The Potters defence has struggled at Stadium of Light, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
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.
Alex Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Bersant Celina (Illness), Sam Clucas (Back), Nick Powell (Knee), Axel Tuanzebe (Leg) and Josh Tymon (Ankle)
