Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham’s younger brother Jobe Bellingham might not yet possess the same skill levels as the Real Madrid star, but he does share his competitive streak.

This can sometimes overstep the mark, he’s making his comeback after a three match suspension for a red card.

He has started four of Sunderland’s last five home games, committing one or more fouls on each occasion.

Zenit St. Petersburg loanee Isidor has enjoyed a good start to life at The Stadium of Light, with five goals in 13 appearances.

Isidor has had one or more shots on target in four of Sunderland’s last five home games. He has started four of his sides last give games, taking one or more shot on target in three of them.

With West Bromwich Albion short on defensive options following injuries to Semi Ajayi, Kyle Bartley and Paddy McNair, Styles has been deputising at left back.

Styles has started four of WBA’s last five at full back, committing at least one foul in each. He will be up against the tricky Patrick Roberts down his side, who wins 1.3 fouls per 90.

Grant has been operating on the left hand side for West Brom, in front of Styles, so will also be tasked with defending the threat of Patrick Roberts.

The attacker has featured in The Baggies last five away games, starting four of them. He has committed a foul in each of the five, even during the 11 minutes he played at home to Cardiff.

Wales international Chris Mepham has been a regular this season, partnering Luke O’Nien whilst Dan Ballard has been recovering from an injury problem.

He has committed two or more fouls in four of Sunderland’s last five games. He will be up against the divisions leading scorer Josh Maja, so with the need to keep him on a tight leash he may be forced to stop him by foul means.

Seventeen year old midfielder Chris Rigg is having a break out season for the table topping Black Cats.

He has started 14 of 16 games, scoring three goals in the process. He has had a shot on target in four of his sides last five games, and should be back to do the same again here.

Josh Maja returns to the club he left for Bordeaux in 2019 as the Championships leading goalscorer with 11 goals. His departure was acrimonious as he refused to sign a new deal when Sunderland were at their lowest point, and therefore he can probably expect some rough treatment from the Mackem crowd.

Grant has been in good nick for Carlos Corberan’s men of late, with three goal involvements in the last five games leading to him retaining his place in the side. He even had a goal disallowed on Saturday against Norwich.

He has managed at least one shot on target in four of WBA’s last five away games.
