Sunderland vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview
Sunderland seem to be fitting in just fine upon their return to the Premier League, and much can be made of the start they have made.
The Black Cats have amassed 7 points from their opening 4 games and are currently 7th in the table, ahead of serial winners Manchester City.
Le Bris's men have adapted well to the demands placed on them, and the Stadium of Light is once again expected to provide a cauldron of noise as Aston Villa arrive in the north-east on Saturday.
Dan Ballard and Luke O'Nien have been tipped to return for the hosts, and the pair would be huge boosts in terms of selection if they are fit and ready to go.
It's been a disastrous start for Aston Villa, and for a team in the Europa League this season, sitting second bottom in the Premier League table is far from ideal.
Villa did lose two of their most influential players from the second half of last season in loanees Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, but did bring in both Sancho and former Liverpool man Harvey Elliott.
Jacob Ramsey has been sold to help balance the PSR books, and Leon Bailey has also left on loan, which means a good chunk of Emery's attacking options have been either sold or let go.
Ollie Watkins has also had the fewest touches of any outfield player in the side so far this term, according to Sky Sports, which doesn't bode well for a side who are usually so heavily reliant on his form in front of goal.

FourFourTwo's prediction
Sunderland 0-1 Aston Villa
FourFourTwo thinks this one could be awfully tight, but with Villa's Premier League experience, we fancy Emery to finally get a first win of the season under his belt at the Stadium of Light this weekend.
