Bournemouth v Sunderland: match preview

Bournemouth v Sunderland
Bournemouth v Sunderland: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

David Moyes takes his Sunderland side to Bournemouth, in search of their first Premier League win of the season at the 11th time of asking. Sunderland were in the vicinity only last week, after flying back to the north-east from Bournemouth airport after a poor performance against Southampton in the EFL Cup. A much-needed win would provide Moyes at least some respite. Bournemouth, meanwhile, will hope home comforts can see them return to winning ways, after an indifferent performance in defeat by Middlesbrough last time out. Ben Fisher
