It will end level
First of all, we would like to point out that Sunderland have mostly struggled at home recently; the Black Cats have four wins in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and those wins came on the road. In contrast, Norwich's best results have come at home; they've won three of their last nine matches, with those wins coming at home. As a matter of fact, the Canaries have lost their last four road games in all competitions. Evidently, Sunderland tend to struggle at home, while Norwich don't fare well away from home; and on that note, we believe that those struggles will continue with a draw.
Both sides will score
We would like to point out that Sunderland and Norwich tend to score and concede goals regularly. Sunderland found the net in seven of their last eight games, whilst keeping one clean sheet in that stretch; likewise, Norwich scored in all of their last six games, keeping just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Both teams were on the score sheet in six of Sunderland's last eight, and in five of Norwich's last six games; with that in mind, both teams should be amongst the goals.

Can Norwich make it three league wins on the spin?
The early season form these two sides have them just one point apart in the Championship standings with Sunderland sitting in fifth on eight points compared to Norwich City in eighth on seven. Given pre-season expectations, the pressure heading into this match will fall on the visitors.
Sunderland have made a really solid start to the season – especially considering they came up from League One. That noted, the Black Cats are a massive club and there will be expectations on their shoulders that they finish the campaign well clear of relegation danger. Will they expect to beat Norwich? Possibly not. The home fans will expect a decent display though.
Sunderland Predicted lineup – Patterson, O'Nien, Batth, Cirkin, Gooch, Embleton, Matete, Clarke, Pritchard, Stewart, Simms
Norwich gave a good account of themselves in the EFL cup during the week to show what a good football team they are. It was, however, not enough for them to progress. It brought their winning streak of two games to an end and now they travel up north looking to bounce back.
Norwich City Predicted lineup – Krul, Aarons, Omobamidele, Hanley, McLean, Dowell, Gibbs, Nuñez, Sinani, Sargent, Hernandez
