After a torrid start to the season things might just be looking up for Sunderland after winning at Fulham last time out, and they will be hoping to build on that with a win against West Brom in the Sky Sports Saturday lunchtime kick off.

Sunderland are a best priced 29/20 for the win (Bet Victor), West Brom can be backed at 2/1 with most Bookmakers and the draw is 23/10 (Bet 365).

Sunderland have edged themselves up to 15th in the table after their 3-1 win at Craven Cottage on Sunday, with Fletcher and Sessegnon once again proving they are integral to The Mackems’ chances of success. West Brom meanwhile have made a flying start to the season under the guidance of Steve Clarke and have boing boing’ed themselves in 4th place, they will be buzzing with confidence after beating Chelsea at the Hawthorn’s last weekend.

West Brom haven’t travelled as well as they’d have like this season however, with their only away victory this season coming against Wigan. If Sunderland hadn’t had such a morale boosting win last time out, I would certainly be backing West Brom, however that win could be just what Martin O’Niell and his side needed, and with Home advantage this really is a tough one to call, and I am now edging slightly towards Sunderland.

Shane Long and Peter Odemwingi are joint top scorers for West Brom with four goals each, however just one of those goals was scored away from home. If you do fancy the Baggies top scorer’s to continue their goalscoring form you can get 11/1 for both to score with Sky Bet.

The real value for me lies with Steven Fletcher who is 13/8 with Boylesports to score anytime, just as he was against Fulham when we tipped him to do the very same, and I’ll certainly be recommending a punt on the £14 million striker again this weekend. Sessegnon scored a screamer against Fulham and you can get best odds of 11/4 with Bwin for him to score anytime.
