West Bromwich Albion host Sunderland in the Premier League tomorrow.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson made his prediction for the Baggies clash against the Black Cats tomorrow, when writing his weekly prediction column for Sky Sports.
Sunderland head to the Hawthorns in poor form, deeply entrenched in a relegation battle, whilst the hosts have impressed so far this season, and currently sit in eighth spot in the Premier League table.
And Merson believes tomorrow’s game will go to form, explaining how he feels that David Moyes’ men are in a whole world of trouble, when writing his column for Sky Sports:
Sunderland manager David Moyes
“West Brom have gone a little bit off the boil in recent weeks. They went out of the FA Cup which was a disappointing result and then Tottenham absolutely rinsed them last week. It could have been any score and that’s not like West Brom. Sunderland, after their disappointing result last week, need a win. They didn’t really get going against Stoke and look like a side in trouble.”
Prediction: West Brom 2-0 Sunderland
West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis
West Brom have just completed the signing of Jake Livermore from Hull City, so will enter the game in high spirits.
Sunderland, meanwhile, continue to flounder in the transfer market, and things look rather bleak on Wearside, as far as bringing in new faces is concerned.
Tony Pulis’ men cannot move higher than their current position with a win, but can ensure that they are not overtaken by Stoke City, whilst the Black Cats can jump outside of the relegation zone with all three points.
