Vitor Pereira has been sacked by Wolves after a 3-0 defeat to Fulham left the club eight points from safety in the Premier League. Wolves have endured a disastrous start to the season and are yet to win in the Premier League after ten games.

Sunderland make two changes to the side that started their 2-0 Premier League defeat at Manchester United on 4 October. Chris Rigg and Dan Ballard both come in with Simon Adingra and Arthur Masuaku dropping to the bench. Sunderland XI: Roefs, Hume, Ballard, Alderete, Mukiele, Xhaka, Sadiki, Traore, Rigg, Le Fee, Isidor.

Wolves and Villa will both have Boxing Day off after the Premier League confirmed its festive fixture schedule.

Nothing comes easy for Manchester United, but Ruben Amorim's side still found a way to extend their winning run vs. Brighton.

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.
