Sunderland play their final home game of the year on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Norwich City to the Stadium of Light.
Here’s the key team news across both teams as we have it...
5. Brandon Thomas-Asante - doubt
The striker missed the defeat to Derby County due a pelvic issue that Lampard said the club were managing. Not clear if he'll be involved in this game at this stage. | Getty Images
6. Ian Poveda - out
Poveda missed the 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday after picking up an injury in training shortly before the game. Le Bris subsequently confirmed that he will absent for around a month and possibly longer. Another big blow in a frustrating season. | Frank Reid
7. Dan Ballard - out
Ballard is facing six to eight weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Should be back sometime in April, a couple of weeks behind Le Fee. | Frank Reid
8. Salis Abdul Samed - out
Midfielder is recovering from a calf injury and isn't expected back until after the international break at the earliest. | Frank Reid
