Sunderland FA Cup Preview

By: Stephen | January 2nd, 2009

Ah the glory of the FA Cup. One of the many competitions we should do well in. We are playing Bolton, one of those teams that I think shouldn’t be around. They just don’t do anything at anytime.

.

For some, this could be a good way to work out the kinks and get us another win (and winning money).

General news:
• Sunderland are currently 15th in the Barclays Premier League, following their 3-0 defeat at Everton on Sunday.
• They’re just a point away from Bolton, who are 11th in the league on 23 points.
• Sunderland have won three games at home this season (Middlesbrough, Newcastle and West Brom), drawn two (Arsenal and Blackburn) and lost five (Liverpool, Man City, Portsmouth, West Ham and Bolton).
• League form guide: L L W W D L

Match officials:
• The referee on Saturday is Steve Bennett from Kent, who took charge of Sunderland’s 2-1 defeat at home to Portsmouth earlier this season. Mr Bennett has so far issued 70 yellow cards and one red card in 16 games so far this season.
• His assistants are Glenn Turner and Jeremy Simpson, and the fourth official is Clive Oliver.

What do I think is going to happen during the game? Well, I hope that the Blackcats will win pretty soundly, and make Bolton useless again.

Prediction?

Sunderland 3-1.

Jones, Cisse, Steed!
