Sunderland aren't giving up hope, despite the fact a loss at Middlesbrough tonight would leave them 12 points from safety with 5 matches left. Boro have gone 16 games without a win ahead of Wednesday's conflict, and given they lost their last appearance 4-0 to Bournemouth, it's hard to visit a reply coming to give them half a possibility of survival.
Sunderland boss David Moyes is adamant his side still have belief they can avoid the drop as they prepare to face Middlesbrough. The Black Cats have lost five of their last six matches from home and have gone eight without success complete. I can't talk for Middlesbrough I can only talk for us as it's near desperation.
Aitor Karanka, the head coach who guided the club back into the big time, has been replaced in the short term by former Sunderland midfielder Agnew, and he knows time is running out fast, particularly in the wake of Saturday's 4-0 drubbing at Bournemouth.
The England under-21 worldwide has been one of the few bright sparks for the Black Cats this season as they attempt to stave off relegation for the fifth successive year.
"Back in August, it was a terrific performance and we thoroughly deserved to win the game", Agnew said.

George was 3-for-9 from three but was even worse on shots closer to the rim, making just 2-of-12 two-point attempts. He helped the Rockets overcome an off night by James Harden, who finished with 16 points on five-for-16 shooting.
Sunderland are the only Premier League club worse off than Boro - they have three points fewer, although have a game in hand - and defeat for either at the Riverside Stadium would all but consign them to relegation to the Championship.
Sunderland boss David Moyes has opened himself up to ridicule once again, after his comments at his latest press conference.
Sunderland striker Duncan Watmore may need a second operation on his injured knee after suffering slight discomfort on his return to light training, Moyes said. As such, we think they have reasons to be cautiously optimistic. "We haven't done that enough this season", he told reporters.
