Struggling Southend United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sunderland in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

The visiting Sunderland played their last game only four days ago, a League One match. That game was also an away game, at Fleetwood Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
