Sunderland vs Bournemouth preview
The Black Cats' four-match Premier League unbeaten run has turned into a three-match winless streak when they lost 1-0 at Fulham in Week 12. Their 19 points still have Regis Le Bris' newly-promoted side in seventh place, as close to second as they are to 14th. But life in a relegation fight is still just a losing skid away despite Le Bris' incredible work with his team.

They lost away to Man City and Aston Villa — no real shame in that — but last week's 2-2 home draw with West Ham saw a couple of mistakes and a lack of clinical finishing keep them from three points. A good performance here would likely set right the worries of many Cherries supporters.
Sunderland vs Bournemouth prediction
Regis Le Bris and Andoni Iraola may well be the newest wizards of the Premier League management group, and how they approach this game will be interesting thanks to an improved bill of health for Sunderland and questions over Antoine Semenyo's status for the Bournemouth. It's fair to expect a tight one here. Sunderland 1-1 Bournemouth.
