Preview
Sunderland and Middlesbrough face at Stadium of Light, in a match for this stage of the Premier League (Regular Season). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 30‑10‑2012, and ended in a (0‑1) win by Middlesbrough.

Analysis Sunderland

The home team comes to this 2nd round after having lost (2‑1) in the 1st round, in a match against Manchester City. Sunderland has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

Sunderland heads into this match with low motivation after a 2-1 loss away from home against Manchester City. They usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, prioritising quick transitions, especially through the wings. In this formation, Watmore, Defoe and Gooch are their forwards. As they are a team with issues, they usually lower their lines and play mostly in their own half.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Papy Djilobodji, Donald Love, Patrick van Aanholt, Paddy McNair, Lynden Gooch, Adnan Januzaj, Jack Rodwell, Duncan Watmore, Jermain Defoe.
Coach: J. O'Shea.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (1‑1) draw in their league debut, against Stoke City. In the last 10 away matches Middlesbrough has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Middlesbrough heads into this match after a 1-1 draw at home against Stoke. Alvaro Negredo scored their only goal in the 11th minute, but they weren't able to show defensive consistency to hold their lead. Just like their opponent, they will be playing in a 4-3-3 formation, with Ramirez, Roon and Clayton in their midfield. One of their best features is how they create scoring chances.

Confirmed Lineup: Brad Guzan, George Friend, Nsue, Barragán, Ben Gibson, Stewart Downing, Adam Forshaw, Gastón Ramírez, Adam Clayton, Christian Stuani, Álvaro Negredo.
