The Black Cats are in 13th, 10 points clear of the bottom three.

West Brom are unbeaten in 10 Championship games, winning half of those.
They have drawn too many games recently, though, as three of their last four games have ended all-square.
Last time out, they did secure a 2-0 win versus Rotherham, though.
Sunderland Current Form
From 14th February to 9th March, Sunderland went on a shocking run of six straight losses in a row.
They have stopped the rot slightly recently, collecting points in four of their last five.
During the week, they earned a commendable 0-0 draw away at Leeds.

Carlos Corberan rested a number of key players in the win against Rotherham, so he’ll freshen things up on Saturday.
Yann M’Vila will likely be one of the players to drop out.
Josh Maja made a return from a serious ankle injury during the week, but he isn’t quite ready for a starting berth.
Corry Evans could make his long-awaited return to the matchday squad for Sunderland after completing his rehabilitation from an ACL injury. Its unlikely he’ll start, though.
Dennis Cirkin is still out with a hamstring injury, while Nazariy Rusyn is a doubt due to a calf problem.
