Time is running out on Brighton and Hove Albion's European hopes as the Seagulls look to climb the table when they visit Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday,

Sunderland are looking to build on a valuable win at Leeds as they return to Premier League duties against Brighton

Sunderland is set to visit AFC Bournemouth on Saturday for a head-to-head matchup between sides in the middle of the English Premier League pack. The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. ET with TV coverage on USA Network and streaming on-demand.

Port Vale came into the fifth round as one of two clubs outside the top two divisions of English football remaining. The League One squad had not made it beyond the third round of the FA Cup in 20 years, and now they are one win away from the club’s first quarterfinal berth since 1954.

Injuries have hit Sunderland hard in recent weeks, which goes a long way to explaining their downturn in results. Mayenda scored at Bournemouth at the weekend and should keep his place in the lineup, while Nordi Mukiele, Brian Brobbey, Reinildo and Romain Mundle all out injured.

Régis Le Bris holds his regular pre-match press conference at the Academy of Light this afternoon. Sunderland face Port Vale in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, knowing that success in that tie will leave them just one win away from a Wembley semi final.

Sunderland will make the trip to Leeds on Tuesday for a matchup with Leeds United that features a pair of clubs in the middle of the English Premier League pack.
