A team just above the relegation zone faces a side flying high in fifth place at Old Trafford - but it is not the way round you might expect.

Man Utd are the ones languishing in the bottom half of the table after a 3-1 defeat by Brentford last weekend. Ruben Amorim is under serious pressure and another loss on Saturday would leave the Old Trafford hierarchy with a decision to make. Man Utd are treading water at best, and unless they improve soon this season could be another write-off.

Sunderland have no such worries at present A 1-0 win against Nottm Forest last time out means they head into the weekend in fifth place. Sunderland will not finish that high, but their strong start to the campaign has boosted their survival chances. They will fancy their chances of compounding Man Utd's woes in this intriguing EPL encounter.
