Can struggling Sunderland climb off the bottom of the league with a win over West Ham? Opta rates their chances.

"Dick Advocaat’s first game in charge of Sunderland was the meeting between the two sides in March, losing 1-0 to West Ham. The Dutchman has taken just 14 points from 16 games."

West Ham are 2.466/4 to win.

Sunderland have won just one of their last six Premier League games against the Hammers (D3 L2). The draw is 3.45.

West Ham haven't scored more than twice in any of their last 16 league games away to the Black Cats, last scoring three goals against them in 1990 (4-3 loss). Under 2.5 goals is 1.9520/21.

West Ham have never won four consecutive away games in the same Premier League season. The last time they did it in the top-flight (within a single season) was in 1985-86. You can lay them at 2.486/4.

The Black Cats are now on a 10-game winless streak in the Premier League (D4 L6); the longest current run in the competition. A draw half-time/West Ham full-time double result is 6.25/1.

West Ham players have made four errors leading to goals in the Premier League this season; more than any other club (Cresswell x2, Noble and Jenkinson). Both teams to score is 1.768/11.

Dimitri Payet has had a hand in 13 goals (four goals, nine assists) in his last 15 league appearances (Premier League & Ligue 1 combined). Payet is 3.39/4 to score.

After keeping three consecutive clean sheets in May, the Black Cats have conceded in each of their last eight Premier League matches. Over 2.5 goals is 2.01/1.

With seven Premier League red cards to his name, Lee Cattermole is just one sending-off away from equalling the all-time record (eight - Duncan Ferguson, Patrick Vieira and Richard Dunne). The odds of a player being sent off are 4.57/2.

Alongside Jack Colback, Cattermole has the most bookings in the Premier League since the start of last season (16). Cattermole is likely to be priced at around 2.77/4 to be shown a card.
