Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Sunderland Preview

Sunderland Predicted Line-up: Anthony Patterson; Aji Alese, Daniel Ballard, Chris Mepham, Luke O’Nien; Dan Neil, Chriss Rigg; Tom Watson, Aaron Connolly, Eliezer Mayenda; Wilson Isidor

Despite the opening line, it certainly is not all doom and gloom for Sunderland at the moment. Drawing your last four games is not ideal, but it’s certainly better than being defeated as they look to challenge for the title this season.

The four draws also means that they’re now unbeaten in their last nine games this season. Regis Le Bris has got them playing some sensational football and got the best out of a side that many had nowhere near the top of the league in their pre-season predictions.

When it comes to standout performers, it’s hard not to look past Chris Rigg right now. At just 17 years of age, the midfielder has been one of the best in the division and a fundamental part of this side.

West Bromwich Albion Preview

West Bromwich Albion Predicted Line-up: Alex Palmer; Callum Styles, Torbjørn Heggem, Mason Holgate, Daniel Furlong; Micheal Johnston, Alex Mowatt, Jason Molumby, Tom Fellows; Karlan Grant, Josh Maja

West Brom had a terrific start to the league season, but now find themselves in 6th with 26 points from their opening 16 games. 6th is of course not too bad, especially when they’re only six points off the automatic places. A couple of decent results could see them turn things around.

Despite being unbeaten in their last eight games, they’ve only won once in their last 10. Certainly on promotion contending form.

When it comes to standout performers, we’re always impressed with winger Tom Fellows. The 21-year-old has been sensational on the right-wong for the Baggies and will be playing in the Premier League sometime in the near future.
