Sports Mole previews this Sunday's Premier League clash between Norwich City and struggling Sunderland.

Norwich City welcome Sunderland to Carrow Road this Sunday as they try to extend their unbeaten run to nine matches.

Chris Hughton's men have been gradually moving up the Premier League table and the Canaries currently sit in 13th place after salvaging a 1-1 draw with Southampton last weekend.

Martin O'Neill's Sunderland side have had a tough start to the season and are struggling to pick up points a third of the way through the campaign after they recorded a goalless draw with Queens Park Rangers, which put them just one point above the relegation zone.

Hughton is expected to opt for Grant Holt to lead the line for Norwich, while O'Neill is likely to rely on Steven Fletcher with Stephane Sessegnon providing support from behind.

Recent form

Norwich: WDWDD

Norwich: Bunn; Whittaker, Bennett, Bassong, Garrido; Snodgrass, Johnson, Tettey, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Holt

Sunderland: Mignolet; Bardsley, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Rose; Larsson, Colback, Gardner, Johnson; Sessegnon; Fletcher

Sports Mole says: 2-1
