ℹ️ Team News: Norwich City

Isaac Hayden (Knee Injury) and Przemyslaw Placheta (Shin bone bruise) won’t be able to feature for Norwich City gaffer David Wagner.

It’s our opinion that The Canaries may well kick off with a 4-1-4-1 formation, utilising Angus Gunn, Max Aarons, Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Kenny McLean, Onel Hernandez, Marcelino Nunez, Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah and Teemu Pukki.

📋 Team News: Sunderland

Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon surgery), Elliot Embleton (Torn Ankle Ligament) and Corry Evans (Cruciate Ligament Injury) will miss out on this game.

We believe The Black Cats might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Daniel Ballard, Danny Batth, Luke O'Nien, Daniel Neil, Abdoullah Ba, Edouard Michut, Patrick Roberts, Jack Clarke and Joe Gelhardt.

We believe that Norwich City have it within them to get the win and a possible clean sheet when they line up against Sunderland, who could well struggle getting on the scoresheet.
