Preview: West Bromwich Albion vs. Sunderland

Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland at The Hawthorns.

West Bromwich Albion host Sunderland at the weekend as both teams look to register their first Premier League win of the season.

The Baggies and the Black Cats currently sit in the bottom two positions in the league table, with a victory apiece in the League Cup all that they have to show for their season so far.

West Brom head coach Steve Clarke will have new signing Stephane Sessegnon at his disposal after the former Sunderland man was finally handed a work permit earlier this week.

Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio will be able to call upon defender John O'Shea, who missed the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal through suspension.

The Italian could also recall midfielder Craig Gardner, who came off the bench to score last weekend.
