The Black Cats head into this fixture on the back of a slender 1-0 win over Norwich City , which ended a three-game losing streak.
They would hope to pick up another three points to boost their hopes for a top-six finish further. They are currently 10th in the standings but are just five points adrift of sixth-placed Milwall.
Meanwhile, United suffered a loss to Luton Town in their previous game, which was their third defeat in the last five games.
They can ill-afford to drop further points if they want to finish in the top two, which would ensure a direct qualification spot for the Premier League. Third-placed Middlesbrough are four points behind them and any further slip-ups will throw the direct qualification race wide open.
