Sunderland have earned the rewards that came from building a squad heavy with AFCON participation, and now they see the risk effects when Brighton and Hove Albion host the Black Cats at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Aberdeen have only lost one of their past 16 home league games against Dundee United (W8 D7), and are unbeaten in eight (W5 D3) since a 3-0 reverse in August 2014.

One of the major reasons for their recent success is the form of England midfielder Morgan Rogers, who failed to register a single goal involvement in his first seven matches in all competitions.
