View all available markets at William Hill.
- Sunderland return to the Stadium of Light on Friday night following late heartbreak against Aston Villa in a 4-3 defeat last Sunday, but the Black Cats know a victory here would keep them in touching distance of a European spot.
- Régis Le Bris’ side have been solid at home this season but their only three defeats here have come in their last four games, they did manage to stop the rot last time out here against Spurs, punters can back a home win at 17/10 with William Hill.
- Sunderland are one of three teams yet to lose a Premier League game they scored first in this season, so getting themselves in front could prove vital on Friday, they won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in September.
——————————– - It’s been a good few weeks for Nottingham Forest, they’ve given themselves a 5 point cushion from the bottom three after a 4-1 victory against Burnley last weekend, a win that extended their unbeaten streak to eight games now in all competitions.
- Vítor Pereira’s side have a huge opportunity here to extend that gap even further and put some real pressure on those teams fighting for survival before their games this weekend, the Tricky Trees can be backed at 8/5 to win here with the leading bookmaker.
- Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games (W2 D3), their joint-longest unbeaten run of the season, although they’ve won just one of their last seven outings against Sunderland in all competitions.
