Sunderland and Nottingham Forest have named their starting XIs for tonight’s Premier League clash at the Stadium of Light.
The game is of huge significance to Forest, in particular, with Vitor Pereira’s men starting the weekend just five points clear of the bottom three.
And with 18th-placed Tottenham facing already-relegated Wolves tomorrow, Forest can’t afford any slip-ups tonight.
They will come up against a Sunderland side that were unfortunate to lose 4-3 at Aston Villa last Sunday after a late rally saw them hit back from 3-1 down. The Wearsiders will move alongside seventh-placed Bournemouth on 49 points with a win.
