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.

STOKE v MANCHESTER UNITED
United have not won at Stoke in almost four years, so could today be the day? No doubt they will be fired up after hearing about the Liverpool result prior to kick-off. We'll see.
MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 1 WEST HAM
GOAL
An in-swinging corner from Lanzini goes into the box and it is poked home from the six-yard line by Carroll to break the deadlock.
BOURNEMOUTH v WATFORD
Wilshire dinks the ball through to Fraser, but Gomes manages to tip the ball just over the bar. It's promising stuff from Bournemouth, so far.
STOKE 1 - 0 MANCHESTER UNITED
GOAL
Pieters charges down the left hand side and then sends the ball across the face of the goal and it comes off De Gea and into the back of the net. Own goal.
BOURNEMOUTH 0 - 1 WATFORD
GOAL
The corner goes towards the back post, it's then headed back in by Holebas and nodded home from close range from Kabasele. This is completely against the run of play.
MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 1 WEST HAM
GOAL
Stuani scores the equaliser for the home side at the Riverside! The move begins with Traore, who feeds Chambers, who delivers a great ball into the back post, to be easily tapped home by the 30-year-old.
WEST BROM 1 - 0 SUNDERLAND
GOAL
Fletcher has scored the opener at The Hawthorns.
The skipper controls a header from Brunt, before firing the ball past Mannone on the volley.
WEST BROM 2 - 0 SUNDERLAND
GOAL
Brunt has doubled the home side's tally in quick succession, with a terrific volley from distance after Chadli's shot rebounds off the woodwork.
MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 2 WEST HAM
GOAL
Carroll doubles his tally and regained the advantage, just before the half time interval. Antonio strikes the ball at goal and Carroll pounces on the rebound and taps the ball in. Great strikers instinct there.
