COMBINED XI: Stoke City vs Sunderland

Sunderland play Stoke this weekend, with both teams looking to register their first win of the Premier League season.

The lads will travel to the BET365 Stadium, wanting to get a win and putting the dreadful start to the season behind them.

A win would mean both teams could climb out the relegation zone, depending on the results around the grounds going either teams way.

Last season Sunderland got a valuable late goal by Jermain Defoe to secure a point which eventually guided Sunderland to safety.

Normally, we would think of this as a tough game to get something out of, but stoke season hasn’t gone to well, having only secured two points in seven games.

Like usual, going into the game we will be making a combined XI of the two teams and finding out just how many stoke city players would get into the Sunderland side, based on their current form this season.
