Sunderland have had a good season so far with 21 points in 16 games placing them as number 10 in the English Premier League. Despite the good season, last week’s 1 – 1 draw against bottom-of- the table Portsmouth at Stadium of Light was disappointing for Steve Bruce and his squad. This weekend in-form Aston Villa visited the North-eastern club. With a win against Manchester United last week at Old Trafford, the Birmingham club hoped to collect 3 points. It was a good game with high level of energy and a brilliant atmosphere at Stadium of Light.
