Sunderland is seeking a quick bounce back to England’s second tier, and are doing extremely well this season. 40 points through 19 matches have the Black Cats sitting second in the EFL League One, and U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Lynden Gooch has been a huge reason for that.

Gooch has five goals and seven assists in 17 matches this season, setting career highs in both categories so far. The 22-year-old will look to lead Sunderland to another victory on Saturday, this time in the second round of the FA Cup against Walsall. Gooch registered a goal and assist against Walsall on Nov. 24th, as the teams tied 2-2 at Banks’ Stadium. His 89th minute equalizer extended Sunderland’s unbeaten run to 10 matches in all comps, and continued what has been the best season for a U.S. international so far this campaign.

Elsewhere, Alfredo Morales will hope for a start in the Fortuna Dusseldorf starting XI against Mainz. Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic headline Bundesliga play while Bobby Wood aims for another goalscoring performance for Hannover. DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle face a winnable contest against West Ham United.

Ethan Horvath and Club Brugge welcome Standard Liege to town as the USMNT keeper remains the team’s No. 1. Geoff Cameron and Eric Lichaj go head-to-head in the EFL Championship, while Duane Holmes hopes to return to Derby County’s starting XI against Cameron Carter-Vickers and Swansea City.
