Sunderland have suffered another major blow to their hopes of Premier League survival, with Paddy McNair set to miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The 21-year-old Northern Ireland international, who can play in either defence or midfield, only joined the Black Cats from Manchester United in August and made 12 appearances before being struck down by injury.
The Black Cats have managed to garner just two points so far since Moyes replaced Sam Allardyce in the summer.
They are bottom of the table and on Saturday they travel to face Stoke City, the only other club in the top flight without a win.
I’d love to get that first win under our belts so that we could start to look up.
David Moyes
Sunderland are 10/3 to get their breakthrough victory against Mark Hughes’ men and, according to Moyes, it doesn’t matter how they achieve victory – as long as it comes soon.
