Preview...
It’s a big game for…
Peter Crouch. Since being restored to the Stoke starting line-up Peter Crouch has scored two goals, starting the last four games for the Potters. A brace in this game would move him into rarefied air. He would join the 100 Premier League goals clubs - only the 26th player to achieve that feat.
Best stat…
In their last 20 visits to the Stadium of Light, Stoke have only managed to score more than one goal on one occasion (2 vs Sunderland - March 2007).
Remember when…
Joe Allen notched his first ever Premier League brace against the Black Cats earlier in the season? The match included a stand-out performance from Marko Arnautovic en route to a 2-0 Stoke win.
Player to watch…
Jermain Defoe. Sunderland’s main hope for survival rest squarely on this man’s shoulders. Since signing for the Club in January of 2015, no other player has been more influential for the club in that time period, scoring 30 of Sunderland’s 80 goals.
Past three meetings…
Stoke 2 (Allen 2) Sunderland 0 Britannia Stadium, October 2016
Stoke 1 (Arnautovic) Sunderland 1 (Defoe) Britannia Stadium, April 2016

54 mins: GOAL! SWANSEA 0 ARSENAL 2:
Arsenal have a second it the most fortuitous of circumstances. After working their way into the Swansea box, Alex Iwobi's angled shot clattered into Jack Cork and looped up and over the stranded Lukasz Fabianski for an own-goal. Paul Clement's first home match in charge of the Swans looks destined to end in defeat.
62 mins: GOAL! HULL 3 BOURNEMOUTH 1:
A third own-goal in the Premier League today, and the scorer is the unfortunate Tyrone Mings. The former Ipswich defender, making his first start in the top flight after more than a year out with injury, diverted Tom Huddlestone's shot past Artur Boruc, and that should mean Hull are good for the three points.
68 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 1 CRYSTAL PALACE 0:
The deadlock has been broken at the London Stadium where Sofiane Feghouli has slid the ball home from close range. The Algerian forward, available after having his sending off against Manchester United rescinded, followed the ball in after Michail Antonio had skipped around Wayne Hennessey for his first Premier League goal. Sam Allardyce may have to wait longer for his first win as Crystal Palace manager.
67 mins: GOAL! SWANSEA 0 ARSENAL 3:
Another own-goal and another scored by Swansea! This time it was full-back Kyle Naughton, who diverted Alex Iwobi's cross from the left past a static Lukasz Fabianski.
73 mins: GOAL! SWANSEA 0 ARSENAL 4:
Arsenal have a fourth and this time it's a goal all of their own doing. Alexis Sanchez took advantage of hesitancy in the Swansea penalty area to pick his spot in the top left corner of Lukasz Fabianski's goal.
79 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 2 CRYSTAL PALACE 0:
Oh my word!! Andy Carroll has scored an absolute stunner!! The West Ham striker has just executed the most astonishing of scissor-kicks to meet Michail Antonio's left wing cross from 15 yards, rocketing the ball past Wayne Hennessey in the Crystal Palace goal. Simply outstanding. The London Stadium may never see a better goal.
78 mins: GOAL! BURNLEY 1 SOUTHAMPTON 0:
Guess who's back?! Joey Barton is a Burnley player, has been on the pitch less than five minutes and he has broken the deadlock at Turf Moor. The veteran midfielder took charge of a free-kick 25 yards out after George Boyd had been fouled, and decided to go low. As the Southampton defensive wall jumped, Barton sent his shot underneath them and found the bottom corner of Fraser Forster's net.
86 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 3 CRYSTAL PALACE 0:
Who needs Dimitri Payet? Not West Ham! The Hammers have a third and it's another beauty. It's a third assist for Michail Antonio, who splits the Crystal Palace defence open with a crisp through ball, but then it was all Manuel Lanzini's work. The Argentine took the ball in his stride, burst into the penalty area and effortlessly clipped a shot over Wayne Hennessey for 3-0.
