• Sunderland's recent form has been poor, and they have conceded 10 goals in their last three league matches.

• Meanwhile, Man United are on a high after beating Liverpool 3-2 at Old Trafford last weekend.

• That result secured their position in the top five, meaning they will play in the Champions League next season.

📈 Sunderland v Man United Form & Stats

It has been a steady climb up the Premier League standings for Man United this season - they had a rough start under Ruben Amorim, but their fortunes changed completely once Michael Carrick took charge. His tenure started on a high, with back-to-back wins against Man City and Arsenal, respectively. There was a small blip, as the Red Devils drew against Bournemouth before losing against Leeds, but they have bounced back from that with three straight wins heading into this clash.

Sunderland’s recent form has been a stark contrast, and because of that, they have slumped to 12th in the league. While they are still technically in contention to finish in the European spots, their recent form suggests they are unlikely to mount a push. The Black Cats had a tough game against Wolves last time out, as the hosts racked up 20 shots worth 1.72 xG. Robin Roefs was a standout performer, as he made six saves. However, the Dutchman wasn’t as effective against Nottingham Forest in the game prior - he conceded five goals, and was directly responsible for one of those. Man United come into this clash in much better form, and they will be confident of taking the three points at the Stadium of Light.

📔 Sunderland v Man United Formation & Team News

Regis Le Bris could make some changes after those recent poor results. Enzo Le Fee shifted into a central attacking midfield role against Wolves, which saw Chemsdine Talbi feature on the left wing, and Habib Diarra drop to the bench. Chris Rigg also lost his place to Trai Hume on the opposite flank. Le Bris will have to contend without Dan Ballard here, which means Luke O’Nien should fill in at the back alongside Omar Alderete.

Benjamin Sesko has emerged as a doubt this weekend after being withdrawn at half time against Liverpool, which means Amad Diallo could come into the starting XI on the right wing. Bryan Mbeumo is the prime candidate to shift into a centre forward role. Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo should continue in midfield, while Lisandro Martinez will be eligible again after serving his suspension. He should partner Maguire at the back against Sunderland this weekend.
