Sunderland team news and form: Le Bris must find solutions swiftly
Sunderland’s manager won’t be able to count on a couple of his best players for the home game at the Stadium of Light. Niall Huggins, Daniel Ballard, and Jenson Seelt are all injured, which will probably give Luke O’Nien some extra minutes among the starters for the Black Cats.
Predicted lineup: Patterson (GK), Hume. O’Nien, Alese, Cirkin, Neil, Bellingham, Clarke, Rigg, Roberts & Mayenda

Burnley team news and form: Parker can rely on his best men
Unlike Le Bris, coach Parker doesn’t have the same level of injury issues to deal with. The only injured player he has to worry about is Jordan Beyer. However, Burnley have plenty of top-class defenders to fill in the Beyer-shaped hole at the back.
Predicted lineup: Hladky (GK), Roberts, O’Shea, Esteve, Pires, Vitinho, Cullen, Brownhill, Koleosho, Rodriguez & Foster

Player to watch: Luke O’Nien
Previously, we mentioned O’Nien’s name in our Sunderland vs Burnley prediction. It’s because most of the home team’s defenders are injured and won’t be able to partake. However, O’Nien is performing at an admirable level himself. Not only was he a rock at the centre of the pitch last week, but he also scored a goal versus Sheffield Wednesday.
Second player to watch: Elizer Mayenda
Mayenda and O’Nien are the Black Cats’ top goalscorers this season. We trust Mayenda will lead the charge for Sunderland against Burnley this Saturday, as coach Le Bris doesn’t have too many alternatives at his disposal.
