"Regis Le Bris's side are as high as seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with seven points from four matches. Sunderland are only two points behind fourth-placed Bournemouth. While it is unlikely that the Black Cats will end up in the European places in the Premier League table this season, they are now in a very good position to avoid the dreaded drop back to the Championship."
"Sunderland are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Aston Villa. Robin Roefs will be in goal for the Black Cats. Trai Hume, Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete and Reinildo Mandava will be the four defenders. Habib Diarra, Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki will be the three midfielders. Chemsdine Talbi, Wilson Isidor and Simon Adingra will be the three forwards."
Sunderland and Aston Villa meet at the Stadium of Light next Sunday with a predicted 1-1 draw and a 2pm UK kick-off. Sunderland earned promotion last season and currently sit seventh with seven points from four matches, two points behind fourth-placed Bournemouth. Recent results include a goalless draw at Crystal Palace, a 2-1 home victory over Brentford and a Carabao Cup defeat to Huddersfield on penalties. Sunderland are expected to use a 4-3-3 formation with Robin Roefs in goal and Chemsdine Talbi, Wilson Isidor and Simon Adingra leading the attack. Aston Villa finished sixth last season and target Champions League qualification.
