The case for a low-scoring game here is quite strong when you look at the current state of both squads. Everton is missing their most creative spark in Jack Grealish due to suspension, and they are also without several key defensive starters. This usually leads David Moyes to adopt a "safety first" approach, focusing on defensive organization rather than expansive attacking football. Meanwhile, Sunderland looked completely toothless in their recent 3-0 loss to Brentford, showing that their attacking options are stretched thin with AFCON departures. When two teams in poor form meet in a high-pressure cup tie, they often cancel each other out in the middle of the park. Neither side has been particularly prolific lately, and with the heavy rotation expected for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off, a disjointed 1-0 or 0-0 result seems much more likely than a goal-fest.
