Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest: Premier League preview

The Black Cats remain in the fight for European qualification, after manager Regis Le Bris has mastered a brilliant return to the Premier League.

Sunderland are 11th in the standings coming into their Friday-night fixture, and still can make a late hurrah in Europe should they find form.

Just six points separate 6th to 14th, with a whole host of teams still dreaming of additional football on the continent next season, with Sunderland one of them.

A winning end to the term is needed, and they'll need striker Wilson Isidor to find the goals again, with the Haiti international without only one in nine Premier League games.

It's four wins and three draws for Forest across their last seven in all competitions.

The Tricky Trees also have a UEFA Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa to come, which could take some of their priority and focus.

Vitor Pereira's side have won two and drawn three of their last five Premier League fixtures, including an emphatic 3-0 win over relegation rivals Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

A tough end to the campaign is approaching, however, with Sunderland, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Bournemouth all to come.
