Sunderland, Recent FormThe Sunderland squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Leicester City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Leicester City's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Tony Mowbray will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
On an individual basis, Jack Clarke will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Sunderland's 13 league games this season.
Norwich City, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough will not have sat easily with the Norwich City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Middlesbrough who had 19 attempts and 8 on target.
Their boss David Wagner is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 12 of their 13 games this season.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Away from home in the league, Josh Sargent has given the Norwich City travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Sunderland recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
In their previous 3 away games at Sunderland, The Canaries have managed to score a goal in each match.
