Preview...

It’s a big game for…

Peter Crouch. Since being restored to the Stoke starting line-up Peter Crouch has scored two goals, starting the last four games for the Potters. A brace in this game would move him into rarefied air. He would join the 100 Premier League goals clubs - only the 26th player to achieve that feat.

Best stat…

In their last 20 visits to the Stadium of Light, Stoke have only managed to score more than one goal on one occasion (2 vs Sunderland - March 2007).

Remember when…

Joe Allen notched his first ever Premier League brace against the Black Cats earlier in the season? The match included a stand-out performance from Marko Arnautovic en route to a 2-0 Stoke win.

Player to watch…

Jermain Defoe. Sunderland’s main hope for survival rest squarely on this man’s shoulders. Since signing for the Club in January of 2015, no other player has been more influential for the club in that time period, scoring 30 of Sunderland’s 80 goals.

Past three meetings…

Stoke 2 (Allen 2) Sunderland 0 Britannia Stadium, October 2016

Stoke 1 (Arnautovic) Sunderland 1 (Defoe) Britannia Stadium, April 2016

Sunderland 2 (Van Aanholt, Watmore) Stoke 0, Stadium of Light, November 2015

3 mins: GOAL! HULL 0 BOURNEMOUTH 1:

Junior Stanislas makes no mistake from the penalty spot, smashing the ball down the middle of Eldin Jakupovic's goal. Marco Silva's Premier League debut as Hull City manager is off to the worst possible start.

[14 January 2017 15:11 · Sam Dymond]

Moving scenes at Vicarage Road in tribute to Watford's greatest son.

7 mins: DISALLOWED GOAL! WATFORD 0 MIDDLESBROUGH 0:

The ball is in the back of the net at Vicarage Road, but it's not going to count. Cristhian Stuani steered past Heurelho Gomes after Alvaro Negredo had nodded down, but the Uruguayan was a yard ahead of his marker and was correctly flagged offside. However, it's an early warning for the out-of-form Hornets.

15 mins: GOAL! SUNDERLAND 0 STOKE 1:

Stoke City take the lead at the Stadium of Light! Marko Arnautovic took control in the box, and although Vito Mannone was equal to the Austrian's first effort, the Austrian was alert enough to smash home at the second attempt.

A welcome return...

...unless you're David Moyes.

21 mins: GOAL! SUNDERLAND 0 STOKE 2:

Two for Stoke City, two for Marko Arnautovic! After failing to score in 12 matches, the Austrian now has two in six minutes after finishing a brilliant team move that saw him play one-twos with Charlie Adam and then Peter Crouch before beating Vito Mannone at the near post. It's a long way back for the Black Cats now.

27 mins: West Ham 0 Crystal Palace 0:

I've just tuned into the action at the London Stadium for the first time this afternoon to be greeted by the sight of Andy Carroll, rolling around injured on the pitch. Some things never change.

The West Ham striker is back up in the thick of the action, if the action is jumping up and down on the spot, shouting at referee Neil Swarbrick for ignoring handball claims in the box.

32 mins: GOAL! HULL 1 BOURNEMOUTH 1:

Abel Hernandez has levelled it up at the KCOM Stadium. The Uruguayan striker has only his second of the season as he rose to head home Andy Robertson's perfect left-wing cross. Welcome relief for the Premier League's bottom club and their new manager.

[14 January 2017 15:34 · Sam Dymond]

34 mins: GOAL! SUNDERLAND 0 STOKE 3:

Peter Crouch has his 99th Premier League goal, and some Sunderland fans have decided that they have seen enough of this first half. It's a trademark header from the veteran striker, who gets up highest to beat Vito Mannone with the Sunderland stopper out of position after spilling Xherdan Shaqiri's shot. David Moyes' men are in big trouble.

37 mins: GOAL! SWANSEA 0 ARSENAL 1:

Olivier Giroud has scored in every Premier League match he has started this season, and it's a run he's continued at the Liberty Stadium after poking in from five yards out. The Frenchman was roaming in the right place to convert after Mesut Ozil's header from Alexis Sanchez's cross had been blocked at close range.
