Sunderland
Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley both picked up knocks against Spurs and
are doubtful, while Nicklas Bendtner and Frazier Campbell could also be
sidelined. Kieran Richardson is back fit and could start at left-back to allow Jack Colback to revert to midfield.
probable lineups : Mignolet, Gardner, Kilgallon, Turner, Richardson, Larsson, Vaughan, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon, Bendtner. (4-4-1-1).

Both these sides have reached the 40 point mark and are certainly safe but also way off a potential European slot.
Though Everton games are generally low scoring, the fact that they now
have no pressure on them certainly led to an entertaining game at Carrow
Road, so this should be a similar affair.
These sides have met twice recently in the FA Cup and have indeed played
a lot of games of late so could be tired. Therefore changes could be
made and organisation could be affected.
Everton 2 - 1 Sunderland
