Key players
Sunderland- Yann M’Vila
The Frenchman has been one of Sunderland’s shining lights in a disappointing campaign so far. The midfielder is tough in the tackle and is effective as a deep-lying playmaker. The likes of Cheikou Kouyate and Mark Noble will have to nullify his influence on the game as he is more than capable of making Sunderland tick.
With 11 key passes and 14 interceptions so far this season, M’Vila is a bit of an all-action midfielder. He is also a threat from set-pieces, his single goal this season coming from an excellent free-kick against Aston Villa.
