January is all about Sunderland not selling Jermaine Defoe and getting out of the relegation zone. The former is still going to be a bit of a struggle but the latter could be achieved this weekend if they can beat Stoke City at home. Sunderland are just a point behind Crystal Palace but with a poor goal difference. Home form hasn't been bad recently with three wins, a draw and a loss to league leaders Chelsea in their last five. They are definitely capable of getting a win here against a Stoke City side not doing too well on their travels. They are 11th in the table and that's a good recovery after a slow start to the season. Their last three away league games have seen them defeated in all of them with 11 goals conceded. Stoke are the kind of side that Sunderland just have to beat at home if they want to stay in the Premier League and this preview believes they can get a narrow win.
