Manchester United vs. Sunderland: Starting XIs, Teams from 2015 Premier League

Manchester United will be on the hunt for a third successive Premier League win when they take to the field at Old Trafford, as they host struggling Sunderland in Week 7 of English football’s top flight.

Manager Louis van Gaal will be hoping for a performance similar to the Red Devils’ previous display, when they won 3-2 at Southampton. The club’s Twitter feed revealed the starting XI he has chosen:

Sunderland are rock bottom of the Premier League coming into this one and still chasing their first win of the campaign. Here’s the team chosen by Dick Advocaat as the Black Cats seek to spring a shock result, per the Sunderland Twitter account:

United seem to be finding their groove after a stuttering start and can put some significant pressure on league leaders Manchester City with three points. Sunderland do tend to raise their game against the division’s better sides, though, meaning we should be in for an intriguing clash at the Theatre of Dreams.
