Sunderland hosts Nottingham Forest at the Stadium of Light on Friday night, with the hosts looking to close down on the European places and the visitors will be hoping to further their points advantage over the teams below.
The Black Cats were unfortunate to leave Villa Park last week with nothing to show for it, given their incredible comeback to make it 3-3. Sunderland have still had a tremendous season back in the top flight, and the Black Cats are 11th in the league standings, three points adrift of AFC Bournemouth, who have played a game more.
Nottingham Forest's win against Burnley last week, accompanied by Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United dropping points, has now given the Reds a five-point cushion ahead of the relegation zone.
