Sunderland v West Ham, Sunday 4pm
These teams have already met at the Stadium of Light this season and it was the Hammers that won the Carling Cup match, something which has ultimately enabled them to reach the semi-final stage of the competition. Avram Grant’s team are finally starting to turn things round after two victories in a week and the visitors will now be looking to collect their first away win in the Premier League this season.
Many punters might be taken with the 10/3 (bet365) on offer, with Sunderland having stuttered a little since that magnificent 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge. In reality, the Black Cats were made to look very good that afternoon by a lacklustre Chelsea performance, something that is testified by Steve Bruce’s team taking just a point from matches against Everton and Wolves.
Even so, the Wearside team are unbeaten at the Stadium of Light this season and can be backed at 10/11 (Ladbrokes) to win their fourth home match, something that will keep them in the top seven of the table. Darren Bent (9/2 Stan James) is getting back to full fitness for Sunderland, while Danny Welbeck (6/1 bet365) has now scored four goals in his past three games to demonstrate that he’s a star of the future.
With West Ham needing the points and the last three Sunderland matches all being high-scoring affairs, it points towards a bet on Over 2.5 Goals, something that’s on offer at evens with Paddy Power. Grant will hope that Carlton Cole’s well-taken brace against Manchester United was the start of things to come from the England hopeful and he’s available at 9/1 with Stan James to score the first goal.
