Team news

Sunderland 

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce will be without Lee Cattermole for their Barclays Premier League clash with Southampton at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Cattermole limped out of last week's 6-2 defeat at Everton with a recurrence of a long-standing groin problem and has been ruled out until after the international break.

But John O'Shea (hamstring), Younes Kaboul (groin), Ola Toivonen (groin) and Fabio Borini (ankle) are all available for selection again after missing last week's defeat due to injury.

Provisional squad: Pantilimon, Mannone, Jones, Van Aanholt, Yedlin, Matthews, O'Shea, Kaboul, Coates, Brown, M'Vila, Larsson, Gomez, Johnson, Toivonen, Lens, Borini, Defoe, Fletcher, Watmore

Southampton 

Victor Wanyama will miss Southampton's Premier League trip to Sunderland after picking up a one-match ban.

Wanyama was sent off for a second bookable offence towards the end of last week's victory over Bournemouth, and Harrison Reed could step up to the team for the clash against Sam Allardyce's men.

Jay Rodriguez and Shane Long are once again unable to feature despite both forwards inching towards full fitness after knee and foot injuries respectively.

Provisional squad: Stekelenburg, K Davis, Gazzaniga, Soares, Martina, Caulker, Yoshida, Van Dijk, Fonte, Bertrand, Targett, Clasie, S Davis, Reed, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Mane, Juanmi, Ramirez, Tadic, Pelle.

Last season Southampton inflicted Sunderland’s heaviest ever Premier League defeat when they won 8-0 at St Mary’s.

Southampton have won just one of their last 12 Premier League away games (W1 D5 L6), but are unbeaten in the last five (W1 D4).

Sunderland have allowed their opponents 69 shots on target against them this season, more than any other team.

Sunderland have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches.

Sadio Mané has been directly involved in seven Southampton goals in his last eight Premier League apps (three goals, four assists).

Southampton have now scored the most headed goals this season in the Premier League (six); twice as many as they did in 2014-15 overall.

Graziano Pellè has attempted more headed shots than any other Premier League player this season (16), scoring with three of these.

Just three of Graziano Pellè’s 18 Premier League goals have come away from home (17%).

Sunderland have the lowest average possession figure in the Premier League so far this season (41.7%).
