Sports Mole preview Sunderland's match with West Bromwich Albion at the Stadium of Light

Sunderland host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday as they look to move further away from the bottom of the Premier League table.

Barring any late fitness issues, Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill is expected to keep the same side that beat Fulham 3-1 last weekend.

That victory was Sunderland's first in the league since the end of September and it was also the first time that they had scored three goals in a match all season.

West Bromwich Albion moved up to fourth place in the Premier League table last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Boss Steve Clarke may decide to retain the same starting lineup, but he will have the option of recalling on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku.

Goalkeeper Ben Foster also remains an injury doubt after missing last weekend's match.
