Meanwhile, Plymouth are yet to win a league game and sit 22nd in the league. They have struggled to find their feet under new boss Wayne Rooney who will be desperate for his first win in the league.

Sunderland have recorded xG’s of 1.80, 1.67, 0.73 and 1.99 in their league games this season demonstrating their attacking intent and threat.
New signings Eliezer Mayenda has 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 league starts and Romaine Mundle has scored in 2 consecutive games.

They have registered xG’s of 0.23, 0.69, 0.14 and 0.77 implying they have failed to threaten in front of goal.
