Sunderland vs Aston Villa Preview
Sunderland have had a shocking season, that is no secret. After being relegated from the Premier League without much of a fight last season, they are in danger of being relegated again, this time down to League One. Chris Coleman’s side are marooned in the bottom three at the moment.
The Black Cats are having to deal with a few injuries at the moment. Duncan Watmore is a long term absentee, while Robbin Ruiter, Marc Wilson and Darron Gibson are also likely to be missing for this clash. Jake Clarke-Salter is serving a three game ban for a red card against Middlesbrough, so will be sitting this one out.
Aston Villa are heading in the opposite direction. They are sitting comfortably in 3rd place in the Championship at the moment and will be looking to challenge Cardiff City for their place in the automatic promotion places. They didn’t have a fixture on Saturday, as the game against Queens Park Rangers was called off due to the snow.
Steve Bruce’s side will be well rested after the postponement at the weekend, and they are likely to name a similar lineup to the 4-2 win against Sheffield Wednesday in their last game. Alan Hutton maybe replaced at left back by Neil Taylor, while former Sunderland loanee Lewis Grabban is expected to start up front.

Sunderland vs Aston Villa Prediction
Sunderland will have gained some confidence after their decent performance against Millwall on Saturday. The worry is that the Black Cats players will be tired after playing at the weekend while their opponents will be completely fresh.
Steve Bruce will be desperate to get a win against the team that sacked him back in 2011. He is unlikely to receive a good reception from the Sunderland fans, which should add extra motivation. It is mainly about the three points though, which will be crucial in the promotion hunt.
Robert Snodgrass will be the man to watch for the away side, as he has been in fantastic form recently. The wide man gave Sheffield Wednesday a torrid time in his last game and will relish playing against a side in the bottom three.
The tip is for Aston Villa to claim the three points and to make things even more difficult for Chris Coleman and his men.

Sunderland don’t really have a positive record against many teams in recent seasons, so it should come as no surprise to see that Aston Villa have won the majority of head to head fixtures between the sides. Villa have won 3 of the last 6, with Sunderland winning 1 and 2 draws.
Earlier this season, Sunderland travelled to Villa Park and suffered a 2-1 defeat. Albert Adomah and Josh Onomah scored for Villa, while current Villa star Lewis Grabban scored for Sunderland.
