We believe coach Frank Lampard’s players have what it takes to get back from the knock and achieve a hard-earned 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light.

Player to watch: Jobe Bellingham
Jude Bellingham’s brother is performing his heart out for the Black Cats this season. Priced at a whopping €22m, the up-and-coming midfielder is a regular starter for his manager this season. His chances of making an appearance at the Stadium of Light are very good.
Bellingham can do it all
So far, the 19-year-old player has scored four goals whilst supplying teammates with three valuable assists. His undeniable skills are the key reason our Sunderland vs Coventry prediction may be in jeopardy.
