After all the stick I got from them for being so negative about them this season, I knew that as soon as I backed them to win a game, the wheels would come off - and that's exactly what happened against Manchester United. This week, they are at home to Wolves, who are bottom of the table without a win, but the Black Cats have picked up a few injuries and their squad strength is a little bit of a concern. United deserved to beat them before the international break - and it's not often you say that about United, is it?
Firstly, huge apologies to Sunderland fans. After all the stick I got from them for being so negative about them this season, I knew that as soon as I backed them to win a game, the wheels would come off - and that's exactly what happened against Manchester United.
It just shows that they are better off with me writing off their team, so they should probably welcome my prediction for this game.

United deserved to beat them before the international break - and it's not often you say that about United, is it? But I was impressed by Regis le Bris, because he did not make any excuses afterwards.
Sunderland need to get back on track, but I don't think they will find it straightforward against a Wolves side who have drawn their last two games. There is not going to be a lot in this and even I can't pick a winner.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
