Player to watch: Jack Clarke
Jack Clarke was on the scoresheet in Sunderland's 2-0 victory at Cardiff last weekend. He has now scored thrice in his last four appearances for the club.
Interestingly, Clarke also has a great track record against Preston, as he was directly involved in at least one goal in the last three clashes between these teams.
The former Tottenham Hotspur player was Sunderland's best player last season, registering 15 goals and four assists across all competitions. He will fancy his chances against Preston once again.
