In the Championship, the tough and grueling schedule each and every week will see frequent changes in the table. Sunderland are one of those teams struggling to find momentum and avoid being relegated for the second consecutive year.

The Black Cats are six points from safety and need to turn things around quickly with four matches to go. Lynden Gooch has found himself back in the starting XI for Sunderland, making appearances in their last four matches. The 22-year-old American will hope to propel his team to three points this weekend as they travel to Reading on Saturday.

Elsewhere in Europe, a pair of American midfielders will square off in the Bundesliga match of the weekend. Weston McKennie and Schalke face Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund in the second Rivierderby of the season. Schalke fought back for a 4-4 draw at Dortmund earlier this season, and will look for all three points this time around. Timmy Chandler and Eintracht Frankfurt face a tough road test at Bayer Leverkusen, while Fabian Johnson will hope to play for Borussia Monchengladbach at Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Geoff Cameron and Stoke City face a road trip to West Ham in the English Premier League, while DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle welcome Arsenal to St. James Park. Timothy Weah and PSG face Monaco in the Ligue 1 showdown of the weekend.

  1. I think it was missed that Sabbi and Hobro lost to Hamid and Midtjylland in the Danish Cup 2-1 in extra time (all three goals coming in the extra period. Sabbi and Hamid both started. I believe that is Hamid’s first official match for Midtjylland.

  2. I might be the biggest Emo supporter on this sight and I was thrilled when he left fulham for Bournemouth but damn these last 2 years have been killing him and now seeing fulham on the brink of promotion just hurts. I still got faith in him though and maybe next year will be his year.

    • Getting injured at the end of last season seems to have really hindered his progress. I think what is also frustrating is Bournemouth does almost no reporting on their Reserve team that Emerson has been playing for.
