Overachievers Sunderland host a Crystal Palace side who are all over the place after a week of heavy hits on and off the pitch.
WATCH — Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Regis Le Bris' Sunderland have plenty of key players back as many have returned from AFCON duty to boost their options. They lost at Brentford last time out in the Premier League and are without a win in their last five league matches (drawing four of those), but did win at Everton in the FA Cup last weekend.
Palace, the reigning FA Cup champs, lost in the cup at sixth-tier Macclesfield FC last weekend and that kickstarted a terrible week for the south London club. First, captain Marc Guehi is on the verge of a move to Manchester City as his contract was up this summer and he's finally moving on. Then manager Oliver Glasner confirmed he is leaving as boss when his contract expires this summer. Plus, reports have emerged that star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta could also leave in the final days of the January window.
