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...
9. Jayden Danns - out
Danns' medical at Sunderland unearthed a back injury that will require a period of rest before he returns to training and joins his new team mates on Wearside. At this stage a return date is not known but he'll be absent for another few weeks at the very least. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
10. Ahmed Abdullahi - out
Sunderland are confident that an underlying groin issue which required surgery has been fixed for good, but the striker experienced some pain on his return to full training. As a result the club are giving him longer to recover before he is introduced. | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images
