Who will win Sunderland vs. Aston Villa?

Aston Villa may enter Sunday's Premier League fixture as the favourites, but Unai Emery's men will certainly have their work cut out for them if they are to secure their first three points of the campaign against this Sunderland side. 

The Black Cats have enjoyed a strong return to the top flight thus far, and with a solid defence backed up by the brilliance of Robin Roefs, Aston Villa's struggling attack faces a tough task in trying to score their first Premier League goal.

Alongside the passionate Stadium of Light crowd, Sunderland will surely fancy their chances of taking at least a point against an out-of-sorts Aston Villa.
