After a couple of poor results, Sunderland are in need of a win when they take on Doncaster Rovers at the Stadium of Light this afternoon.
Darren Moore s side have won four of their last five games in League One, but that one defeat came last time out against Fleetwood Town at Highbury and Lee Johnson will be looking to close the gap between the two sides to five points.
Going off Sunderland’s previous games against the better teams in League One, I think that it’s likely that we will see a change in formation to 4-3-3, with one of Sunderland’s front four making way for an extra body in midfield.

Sunderland travel to London on Saturday, where they face AFC Wimbledon for the second time in just over a month. The two sides drew 1-1 in December, with Joe Pigott putting the Dons ahead from the penalty spot, before Bailey Wright equalised through a half volley.
Lee Johnson’s side currently sit 10th on the table, having won just one of their last nine League One matches, whereas Glyn Hodges’ side anxiously in 21st, battling to avoid relegation.
