Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Norwich City and Sunderland. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at Carrow Road in Norwich and can be live streamed here free.
Despite facing relegation—the club is currently three points from safety—Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has contradicted suggestions he might leave this summer. The current boss remains adamant that this is a long-term endeavor (h/t to the Guardian). "I have the contract for next year," Poyet said.
"If we lose the next 11 games then maybe I won't be here but I don't like to say I'm only interested in this season," he added.
"I care about next year. We need to make sure we are doing something for next season and the year after."
Will Poyet's men do something for next season by capturing an all-important victory in Norwich this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN
