The 2015-2016 English Premier League action continues with match between winless Sunderland AFC (0-2-0, 0 points) and undefeated Swansea City AFC (1-0-1, 4 points) at the Stadium of Light in Tyne and Wear, August 22.
Both teams last met in September 2014 also at the Stadium of Light and have settled for a goalless draw.
The Black Cats are losers of two lopsided games in the current season, first to Leicester City FC during their opener at the King Power Stadium, 2-4, and then last Saturday to Norwich City FC, 1-3, at their home stadium, via Chronicle Live.
Only substitute striker Duncan Watmore was able to score a goal, albeit in the late minutes of the match, to at least put the Cats on the board as the starting eleven could not find the net the entire game.
The Swans have been impressive this season so far as Garry Monk's wards forced a 2-2 tie on defending champions Chelsea in their opener, and then beat a tough Newcastle United squad at home, 2-0, to remain unbeaten in two matches
Striker Bafétimbi Gomis opened the scoring right off the 9th-minute and then followed up by midfielder André Ayew at the 52nd, as per the EPL's official website.
Prediction: Another 2-0 victory for the Swans over the Black Cats. They are a hot team that is starting to get hotter and Sunderland does not have enough to quell Swansea's flame at this time.
Sunderland starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Pantilimon; Coates, Kaboul, Aanholt, Jones; Lens, Cattermole, Larsson, M'Vila; Defoe, Fletcher
Swansea City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Fabianski; Taylor, Fernández, Williams, Naughton; Cork, Ayew; Montero, Sigurdsson, Shelvey; Gomis
