Sunderland vs Burnley: Premier League preview
Sunderland's quest for European football continues with a clash against Burnley on Monday.
The Black Cats were beaten by West Ham at the London Stadium last weekend, with captain and key man Granit Xhaka missing from the squad.
The Swiss international is set to be sidelined for a few weeks with an ankle injury and will be a big miss for Regis Le Bris.
We expect Noah Sadiki to continue in midfield alongside Enzo Le Fee, with Brian Brobbey and Eliezer Mayenda up top as a pair.
Burnley have now drawn against Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham in successive Premier League games, but they'll need to do much more to ensure survival.
Parker's side are still ten points from safety and those draws will have to be converted to wins pretty sharpish.
Their last win at the Stadium of Light came in 2022 in the Championship, as Nathan Tella and Josh Brownhill were amongst the scorers in a 4-2 win.
That was the year the Clarets stormed to the win the title in the second tier, and they could do with much of the same on Monday in the north-east.
