Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Black Cats have conceded a disappointing 13 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Everton's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Blues have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sunderland find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 18 games have yielded only 6 points. Everton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 19 matches.
