Sunderland v Manchester United Preview

      The Stadium of Light is a traditionally tricky place to visit, yet United have a great record there having won the last four meetings. With Sunderland shorn of one of their most impressive performers in on-loan winger Danny Welbeck, United have a great chance to get a first away win in the league. Not that the Reds don't have their own injury problems. Giggs and Scholes are definite absentees whilst Fergie is playing his usual mind games with regards to the availability of Wayne Rooney. Although given his lack of form, perhaps this time it would be best to leave him out, especially given the recent performances of Chicharito, Macheda and Owen. The lack of options on the left wing mean that Park will probably start again, despite admitting this week that he has been poor this season.
