Sunderland vs Birmingham Lineups, Team News, and Match Information
Sunderland
Even though Sunderland is far from being the top team in the Championship, they are still maintaining their position in the top ten and trying to be as close as possible to teams who are fighting for promotion. Timothee Pembele, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, and Ross Stewart are missing due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Patterson, Hume, O'Nien, Ballard, Huggins, Ekwah, Bellingham, Clarke, Heil, Roberts, Rusyn.
Birmingham
Wayne Rooney's tenure at Birmingham has been bad in all possible ways. After three losses in a row, over the past weekend, his team had a 2-0 advantage over the second-placed Ipswich with about ten minutes before the end of the game. The match ended in a draw. Alfie Chang, Lee Buchanan, Keshi Anderson, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts are out of the lineup.
Predicted lineup: Ruddy, Aiwu, Drameh, Sanderson, Laird, James, Bacuna, Sunjic, Stansfield, Burke, Miyoshi.
Player to Watch: Jack Clarke
This season couldn't get much better for Sunderland's Jack Clarke. The 22-year-old player who makes his living on the left side of the field scored nine goals in 15 matches and added an assist to his record while starting every out of the games his team played.
Clarke was originally developed at Leeds but quickly moved to Tottenham where over three years was loaned out constantly even though the Spurs paid a significant amount of money for his services. Clarke moved to Sunderland last year on loan and the transfer was made permanent this summer.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
