Sunderland XI vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news Sunderland travel to Villa Park today, aiming to record a third consecutive Premier League victory. The Black Cats have enjoyed an exceptional first season back in the top flight. They recently dispatched Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur to sit comfortably in mid-table.
Régis Le Bris has created a mentally unburdened squad that excels in pressure situations. Sunderland have already completed doubles over arch-rivals Newcastle and won at Leeds recently. They now look to claim another high-profile scalp in the West Midlands.
Sunderland have been surprisingly resilient on the road compared to their home performances. They have conceded only ten goals in 16 away matches so far this season. Only a handful of teams have found the net fewer times than the Wearsiders.
However, their tactical discipline allows them to frustrate opponents and strike on the counter. Le Bris will demand the same focus that saw them shut out Spurs last time. Sunderland team news Dan Ballard provides a major boost for the visitors as he returns to full fitness.
