Sunderland is set to visit the London Stadium on Saturday with the goal of achieving a historic Premier League double against West Ham.
Régis Le Bris’s team has climbed to ninth place after a tough win over Crystal Palace. The Black Cats have surprised many this season and are just three points away from the top four. However, they need to improve their away performance to keep their Champions League hopes alive, having not won in six road matches against a revitalized West Ham.

The Black Cats got a significant boost with the return of two important international players. Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi are back after their AFCON commitments. Diarra is returning as a champion after Senegal won against Morocco. However, injuries will keep Bertrand Traoré and Arthur Masuaku sidelined.
Robin Roefs will be in goal with Dan Ballard leading the defense. Granit Xhaka will manage the midfield and currently tops the league with eight key passes leading to goals. Noah Sadiki is likely to partner him for added defensive strength. Up front, Brian Brobbey is expected to spearhead the attack as Sunderland seeks three essential points.
