Sunderland desperately seeking victory as winless streak continues

Sunderland have not won a Premier League match in 14 games now, and their slide down the table has been a remarkable collapse. When the Black Cats beat Arsenal 1-0 on November 21st, everything was going quite smoothly for Steve Bruce and his side. They had beaten Arsenal, collected a point from games with both Liverpool and Manchester United and only lost to Chelsea of the traditionally top four sides, with Darren Bent scoring against each.


Since then however, they have struggled for form in a dramatic way, and after over three months after their last win they are in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle. The phrase that is used far too often is "too good to go down", and Sunderland may have some gifted players, but unless they get themselves out of this rut they are by no means safe.


Sunderland's fixture list for the remainder of the season begins with some tough games against Aston Villa, Manchester City, Birmingham, Liverpool and Tottenham, and were they to come away from those matches pointless their situation could be approaching dire. This would make their final run of games against fellow-strugglers West Ham, Burnley, Hull and Wolves (with the small matter of Manchester United in between the last two) all vital six-pointers.
