Sunderland moved into the Championship play-off places following an emphatic 4-1 win at Wigan last time out.

However, right after the match, a surprising news arrived--- Everton have recalled striker Ellis Simms from his loan spell to Sunderland, meaning Sunderland might have to look for another one or two strikers on the market.

Tony Mowbray has been doing a great job at Sunderland, making the club competitive again this season. But the news on Ellis Simms is a huge blow because he has almost become the center of the project. Everton’s recall leaves Sunderland no option and it looks like Everton will probably loan him to a rival side of Sunderland.

Blackpool are 23rd in the table and haven’t won for eight matches. Michael Appleton’s side were beaten 2-1 by Sheffield United at Bloomfield Road last time out. But considering the performance, Blackpool weren’t too bad. They were unlucky as well. They could have got a draw from there.

Today Blackpool are playing at home. They might have extra motivation to begin their New Year’s campaign against relegation.

Let’s back Blackpool.

桑德兰在上一次以4-1大胜维冈之后，进入了英冠联赛的附加赛区域。

然而，比赛结束后，一个令人惊讶的消息传来——埃弗顿将前锋埃利斯-西蒙斯从租借给桑德兰的合同中召回，这意味着桑德兰可能不得不在市场上再寻找一到两名前锋。

托尼-莫布雷在桑德兰做得很好，使俱乐部本赛季再次具有竞争力。 但关于埃利斯-西蒙斯的消息是一个巨大的打击，因为他几乎已经成为球队计划的中心人物。埃弗顿的召回让桑德兰没有选择，看起来埃弗顿很可能会把他租给桑德兰的对手。

布莱克浦在积分榜上排名第23位，已经8场比赛没有赢过了。 迈克尔-阿普尔顿的球队上轮在布卢姆菲尔德路被谢菲尔德联队2-1击败。 但考虑到表现，布莱克浦并没有太糟糕。 他们也很不走运。 他们本可以从那里得到一个平局。

今天，布莱克浦在主场比赛。 他们可能会有额外的动力来开始他们新年的保级之路。

让我们支持布莱克浦。
