The Black Cats host Watford at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Sunderland will be looking to build on an unbeaten January when they take on Watford at
the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Cats remain in the hunt for automatic promotion from the Championship this season,
and are currently three points adrift of the top two heading into another potentially vital
weekend of action in the second tier.
For their part, the Hornets are currently on a losing streak of three matches,
and will be eager to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Norwich City last time out.
As for Sunderland, they saw off local rivals Middlesbrough in dramatic fashion at the
Riverside on Monday evening, coming from behind to win 3-2 courtesy of a late own goal.
Reflecting on his side’s performance in that match, head coach Le Bris said:
“I think that Middlesbrough started very well, they played really good football.
We expected this but when you are on the pitch, you have to manage the situation.
They played very well in the first half and we conceded many situations,
I think we were lucky not to concede a second goal.
We stayed in the game but we were a little bit impatient,
we knew they were good in possession with the ability to pin the central corridor and play out wide,
in behind, through. Maybe we lost our patience in this period and were sloppy on the ball.
Progressively, we got back into the game but not enough for this contest, this team.
“During half time we spoke about the character we needed,
that we needed more passion and more confidence. The second half was very good, I think.
It was an intense game against a strong game, away from home.
We had to play with passion to find that extra percent. We knew that this would make the difference.”
