Bottom three squad Sunderland AFC (0-4-1, 1 point) will try to go for their first win in the 2016-2017 Premier League season as they host middling team Crystal Palace FC (2-2-1, 7 points) at their home field of Stadium of Light on Sep. 24, Saturday.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Sunderland has yet to earn their first victory this term after starting the season with two straight losses before pulling off a 1-1 draw with Southampton in their week 3 fixture. The team is again on a two-game losing slide and will hope to snap out of it once more in their round 6 match.
The Black Cats lost a sorry 0-1 decision to last season's third-place squad Tottenham Hotspur on the road at the White Hart Lane last Sunday, as per Goal.
England international Harry Kane scored the lone goal of the match at the 59th for the hosts to hand head coach David Moyes' side their fourth loss in five games this term.
To make matters worse, young winger Adnan Januzaj, who was on loan from Manchester United, was sent off right at the stroke of full time after getting booked with a second yellow card, which means he will not be available in this game versus Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace crushed an uninspired Stoke City XI, 4-1, at the Selhurst Park last Sunday, The Guardian reported.
Four different Eagles players netted a goal each for head coach Alan Pardew en route to the team's four-goal haul, namely James Tomkins, Scott Dann, James McArthur, and Andros Townsend at the ninth, 11th, 71st, and 75th minutes respectively.
The Potters managed to score a consolation goal in injury time with Austrian forward Marko Arnautovic's first goal of the season.
Palace is currently at eighth place in the overall standings as they completed their second straight victory after starting the term with three winless performances.
