Another of Saturday's EPL fixtures sees Sunderland and Bournemouth lock horns at Stadium of Light, where the Black Cats have been fantastic so far this season, making full use of their loud-and-proud home crowd, losing none of their six home games since earning promotion back to the top division. Strong home form is key for any EPL newbie, and if Regis le Bris' men can continue to defy teams on home soil, then they'll have an excellent chance of staying up.
The Cherries know all about being EPL newcomers, but they've now shedded that tag and are a very useful top-tier team, so much so that there's little danger of them being involved in any scrap for survival. However, Saturday's visitors won't arrive in the North East in hot form having failed to win any of their last three games, two of which they've lost. Such form isn't exactly ideal ahead of a game against a very defiant home side.

Our Sunderland vs Bournemouth Prediction
It's taken a little while for Bertrand Traore to work his way into the Sunderland XI, but it looks as if the former Aston Villa winger/forward is being trusted more and more by Regis le Bris, who has opted to start the Burkina Faso international in each of Sunderland's last six games. He hasn't scored during that time, but he's got himself into some great shooting positions, firing off no less than nine shots during that time.
Registering shots on target in four of his last seven appearances for the Black Cats, Traore looks a little leniently priced to work the Bournemouth keeper on Saturday. Take odds of -110 while they're on offer.
Our Sunderland vs Bournemouth Pick: Bertrand Traore 1+ Shots on Target.
