Sunderland host Swansea City at the Stadium of Light on Saturday (February 24) in the Championship.
The hosts have struggled and are in danger of missing out on the promotion playoffs. Sunderland lost 2-1 to Birmingham City last time out, taking the lead through Jack Clarke strike before Birmingham turned the game on its head. Sunderland are tenth in the league with 47 points from 33 games.
Swansea, meanwhile, have struggled under new boss Luke Williams as they find themselves just outside the drop zone. They lost 2-1 to newly promoted Ipswich Town in their game, with Jerry Yates scoring in the first half, albeit in a losing cause.
The visitors are 18th in the standings with 36 points and are just four points above the relegation zone
