Sunderland will be more than pleased with their start to the Premier League, sitting in 9th position and above Manchester United of all teams after 7 games.

Despite losing to the Red Devils at Old Trafford last time out, Regis Le Bris have a more than winnable clash against Wolves to look forward to this weekend.

Vitor Pereira's Wolves remain the only Premier League side without a win so far this season and have recently surrendered leads against Spurs and Brighton.

Sunderland v Wolves: Premier League preview

The Black Cats look like a force to be reckoned with so far and plaudits have flooded in for former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Xhaka, who made a shock move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, was instantly named captain but has been brilliant on his return to English football.

Sunderland will welcome a much-needed return to the Stadium of Light this weekend, as they have collected seven points from their three Premier League home matches this season.

Habib Diarra (groin), Romaine Mundle (hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Aji Alese (shoulder) and Leo Hjelde (Achilles) will all miss out through injury, and Reinildo Mandava will serve the final game of a three-match suspension.

Wolves have suffered a miserable campaign thus far and are winless in seven games.

The Old Gold conceded a 94th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Spurs, a week before Jan Paul van Hecke netted in the 86th minute to help Brighton, which won't have pleased Pereira.

All is not lost, however, with a win this weekend, perhaps the fuel they need to climb out of the relegation zone, should results also go their way.

Defender Matt Doherty recently underwent surgery on his wrist and will remain in the treatment room along with Leon Chiwome (knee), whilst Toti Gomes could be ready to return.
