Martin O'Neill puts his unbeaten home record on the line as Sunderland welcome Norwich City to Wearside this evening.

Martin O'Neill will be putting his unbeaten home record as manager of Sunderland on the line when Norwich City visit the Stadium of Light this evening.

The boss is expected to hand a debut to full-back Wayne Bridge, who joined the club on a loan basis from Manchester City yesterday.

Nicklas Bendtner looks certain to miss the match with a broken nose, with Connor Wickham likely to keep his spot.

Visiting Norwich have no new injury worries for the match, although Paul Lambert will have to decide which two out of Simeon Jackson, Steve Morison and Grant Holt start up front.

Current form:

Sunderland: WDWWLW
Norwich: DLDWWD

Possible lineups:

Sunderland: Mignolet; Bridge, O'Shea, Brown, Bardsley; Richardson, Gardner, Vaughan, Larsson; Sessegnon; Wickham

Norwich: Ruddy; Martin, Whitbread, Ayala, Drury; Bennett, Hoolahan, Pilkington, Crofts; Jackson, Morison

Sports Mole says: 2-1
