Live on Skysports 1: Sun 13.30: Sunderland (11/10, Stan James) can edge out Norwich by one in the Premier League.
If Sunderland aren’t careful they could be sucked into a relegation scrap and indeed their odds of 9/1 with Skybet to go down, will fall considerably if Martin O’Neill’s troops emerge empty-handed from their home clash with a Norwich team just one place and three points above them.
However, bookies consider a defeat for the Wearsiders unlikely, bet365 rating the Canaries as 3/1 outsiders and Stan James installing Sunderland as 11/10 favourites.
Stan James post 12/5 against the stalemate and that might prove popular given the fact that O’Neill’s men have shared the spoils in two of their last three at the Stadium of Light and City have drawn four of their last six but Chris Hughton’s charges have struggled all season on the road, where they have managed only one victory so the hosts should nick a tight contest.
Ladbrokes chalk the Black Cats up at 14/5 to prevail by a one-goal margin and for more ambitious punters, BetVictor offer 7/1 about a 1-0 Sunderland success in a contest that’s 4/5 (bet365) to produce fewer than three goals.
