Sunderland and AFC Bournemouth will battle for three points in Round 13 of the Premier League on Saturday (November 29th). The game will be played at the Stadium of Light.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat they suffered away to Fulham. Raul Jimenez converted at close range from Samuel Chukwueze's cross six minutes from time to settle the contest.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, came back from a two-goal deficit to share the spoils in a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham. Callum Wilson's first-half brace gave the Hammers a 2-0 lead at the break. Marcus Tavernier halved the deficit from the spot in the 69th minute. Long-term injury absentee Enes Unal stepped off the bench in the 80th minute and equalized with practically his first touch less than a minute later.
