Sunderland are unbeaten in their last three games after drawing 1-1 with Huddersfield, beating Brentford 2-1 and drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace. Sunderland only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded nine goals.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says five goals conceded and five scored.
