Sunderland prepare to entertain West Bromwich Albion at Stadium Of Light on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 36 and lost only 12 of the 69 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stadium Of Light was less than a year ago, in September 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Black Cats have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
West Brom.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The The Baggies's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Sunderland find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 0 points. West Brom.'s total of 8 points from their 4 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Black Cats at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Baggies come away with an easy victory. Away win
