Preview...
It’s a big game for…
Victor Anichebe: The 28-year-old has started tremendously under the management of David Moyes, scoring three goals in his first two starts. There were doubts as to whether the Nigerian would be fit to play, but Moyes appears confident that he is ready.
Best stat…
These two sides have the lowest possession figures on average in the Premier League this campaign, so we can prepare for it to start slowly.
Remember when…
Nacer Chadli was introduced as a substitute and scored a late equaliser to snatch a point against the Black Cats in the return fixture earlier this season. There's never much to separate these two sides.
Player to watch…
Jermain Defoe: The Sunderland striker has scored 23 goals since the start of 2016 and continues to prove his ability in front of goal. He is set to cause an upset.

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm Premier League kick-offs, where Manchester United take centre stage as they look to continue their 16-match unbeaten run against Stoke City, with Mark Hughes looking to claim victory against the side he used to play for.
Bournemouth welcome a Watford side that has not won any of their last six Premier League games to the Vitality Stadium, while Crystal Palace continue to search for their first league victory under Sam Allardyce with in-form Everton travelling south to Selhurst Park, fresh off the back of their 4-0 thumping of Manchester City.
Middlesbrough welcome West Ham to the Riverside, with Slaven Bilic hoping his side can build on last weekend's 3-0 victory over Palace even though Dimitri Payet remains a well-publicised absentee, and West Brom entertain Sunderland at the The Hawthorns with the chance to move out of the relegation zone.
Follow the latest action here, with team news set to land at 2pm.
There's just under 15 minutes until kick-off now. Stay tuned for updates of all the action and goals, as they happen.
CRYSTAL PALACE v EVERTON
Schlupp and Remy both make their first Premier League starts for Palace, meanwhile Everton remain unchanged following their victory against Manchester City. Mind due, I do not blame them for that - if it's not broke, don't fix it.
