PREVIEW
Sunderland scored a fantastic win at Bolton last week, taking 3 points thanks to that 2-0 performance. Since then, they have had the week to rest and prepare for this one. The same goes for Aston Villa, except they suffered a loss away from home last weekend.
Both sides have just 2 wins each, but Villa sit higher on the table as a result of having lost fewer games than Sunderland. Last season, both meetings were won by Sunderland by a score of 1-0.
Aston Villa come up to Sunderland eager to bounce back from their recent defeats. Last weekend they led West Bromwich 1-0 before a sending off scuppered their plans. The Baggies took advantage and won 2-1, which means Villa are in bounce back mode here. They have the weapons to do damage, no doubt, with the likes of Agbonlahor and of course Bent always a danger.
Bent has a habit of scoring against old clubs, and many Sunderland fans will remember his goals against Tottenham. They will no doubt give him grief here and that can only help spur on their former player, who is looking to start scoring goals again. Villa have 4 goals on their travels, although they have no wins when away from home.
Sunderland showed great fight in almost taking a point off Arsenal the week before last, losing 2-1. Bendtner sat that game out, but immediately got back on the scoresheet in last weeks match. He's very likely to net here, and I would advise having a good look at at the Dane in the anytime scorer markets.
Despite the last 2 matches ending 1-0, I feel both these teams are going to get goals here, at least one each. The match might well end in a draw but in Agbonlahor, Bent and Bendtner we have chances for a number of goals.
