Player to Watch: Jack Clarke
Since we can see Sunderland winning this game, we chose Jack Clarke as our player to watch in this match, particularly with the other top scorer from the team, Ross Stewart, on the sidelines with injury.
In any case, Clarke is certainly a player that can decide a match with his talent. The young Englishmen has six goals and six assists in thirty appearances in Championship this season, so Bristol City will have to be wary of him.
