Norwich City vs Sunderland

All the latest from Carrow Road as Tony Mowbray's Black Cats take on David Wagner's Canaries.

[Gooch](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/lynden-gooch) has been out of action since mid-January due to a hip flexor problem but was back out on the pitches at the Academy of Light last week, initially taking part in non-contact training before stepping that up to full training. [Mowbray](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/tony-mowbray) was Eppleton on Monday night to watch the 19-year-old score twice - he was initially credited with a hat-trick, before his third goal was given as an own-goal - for Sunderland U21s in a 4-1 Premier League 2 victory against Stoke City. "But we did have a player, a pretty important player for us, drop out of training today with a muscle problem which isn't good, and we'll have to look at that. At 6ft 2in, Ekwah will add physical presence in midfield and that led to questions as to why he was not introduced in last weekend's 5-1 mauling at the hands of Stoke City at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats boss is a big admirer of the midfielder, who was signed from West Ham in January, and is convinced the 21-year-old has the talent to be a big hit on Wearside. [Sunderland's](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/sunderland-afc) 5-1 reverse at home to Stoke City last weekend came hard on the heels of defeat at Coventry City and Rotherham United. But he's not playing U21s football, he's on the pitch with the first team and it's not too easy, he can't stroll about and play at a pace where he will just get passed by, so we can't have that where I'm getting angry, annoyed, shouting at him. [Cirkin](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/dennis-cirkin) suffered concussion after being knocked unconscious as the left-back headed Sunderland's equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Millwall on February 4. The Canaries go into the game on the back of a five-game unbeaten run, and four of those games ended in victories. He needs to do that first, and I'm being governed by the medical department." He made another substitute appearance a few days later against Bristol City, and then started the defeat at Rotherham United on February 21 but was substituted after an hour. [Tony Mowbray's](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/tony-mowbray) Black Cats arrive in Norfolk looking to halt a three-game losing streak - their worst run since returning to the [Championship](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/football-league-championship).

Abdoullah Ba's first Sunderland goal is enough to snap the Wearsiders' losing streak as they overcome Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Post update The ones we win, let's see how many points we can accrue and where that takes us." I'm pleased for the supporters who made a really long trip. "We knew how the game was going to go and the team worked really hard. "The second half was better, without creating enough clear-cut chances. "The performance was disappointing, especially in the first half. - Shots - 23McLean - 30Giannoulis - 6Gibson - 5Hanley - 28Gunn
