Matchweek 36 of the English Premier League brings another interesting clash, as Sunderland welcome Manchester United to the Stadium of Light.
The home side have clearly lost momentum in recent weeks. Sunderland collected only one point from their last three league matches, and even that came from a draw against bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers. Their biggest disappointment arrived in Round 34, when they suffered a crushing 0:5 defeat at home against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester United, meanwhile, look much more confident at this stage of the season. The Red Devils strengthened their position in third place after winning three Premier League matches in a row. The most important result came last weekend, when Michael Carrick’s side defeated Liverpool 3:2 at Old Trafford. Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo scored the decisive goal in a match that could have a major impact on the battle for third place.

Prediction for the Sunderland vs Manchester United
Manchester United need only four more points from their remaining three league matches to secure their seasonal objective. Because of that, it feels unlikely they will slow down now. Sunderland are struggling badly with form and confidence, especially after several poor defensive performances lately.
Leeds showed recently that teams under pressure can still fight back, but Sunderland at the moment don’t look stable enough to stop an in-form United side. The visitors should control the game and create more dangerous chances overall.
Our pick for this match is a win for Manchester United.
