Sunderland are heading into this match in fairly good shape. They have won two of their last five games, drawn two, and lost just one - and that defeat came away from home. Crystal Palace have had a mixed run too, but they have only won once in their last five matches, with two draws and two defeats. It has been a tough stretch for the visitors, who have also lost two of their last three away games.

The recent meetings between these two sides have been tight and low-scoring - the last one ended 2-1 to Crystal Palace, while the one before that finished 0-0. Given how even they look and the fact that both teams have struggled to find the net consistently recently, this match feels very close and could easily end in a draw.
