Things cannot get much worse for Sunderland and David Moyes as they approach a vital run of fixtures.
With just two points on the board at this stage of the season, many Sunderland fans are curious as to just how things have got so bad.
While David Moyes’ reputation has certainly taken a beating over the last few years, people were still confident that he could do a solid job at the Stadium of Light. Regardless, one thing that is abundantly clear is that the next few weeks are crucial for the club.
Bournemouth (Away)
This is the kind of fixture that could spell game over for Moyes. On their day the Cherries really are a force to be reckoned with and they can give any side in this division a good game.
They have the passion and determination within their ranks that is nowhere to be found for Sunderland, and that is extremely dangerous right now.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Sunderland
Hull City (Home)
The shining light of the fixture list may well be this game. After a positive start the Tigers have really started to fall away, and with a squad equally as poor if not worse than Sunderland’s the home side can be hopeful.
If they see this as last chance saloon, a victory may well be the catalyst for a great run of form.
Prediction: Sunderland 3-1 Hull
Liverpool (Away)
Despite Liverpool’s past tendencies to slip up against sides like Sunderland at home, under Jurgen Klopp they really do look like a side with renewed confidence.
Their qualities are there for all to see and whether or not the Black Cats have a win under their belt probably will not matter, as the Reds have more than enough to see them off.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Sunderland
