400 - John O’Shea will be the third Republic of Ireland player to reach 400 PL apps after Shay Given (443) & Richard Dunne (431). Charm.
Sunderland have enjoyed a mini-revival under Sam Allardyce but remain in the red zone with just three wins from 15 outings.
So today’s game at the Stadium of Light against high-flying Watford is one the Black Cats will have targeted, but they’ve got off to the worst possible start.
Odion Ighalo has given the visitors an early lead with his 10th goal of the season.
Elsewhere, Shane Long leads the Southampton line at Crystal Palace, where Damien Delaney starts for the hosts, while Glenn Whelan is included in the Stoke team for their visit to West Ham.
