Match Preview: Sunday,17 March 2013, One of the important match Sunderland vs Norwich of Premier LeagueHD Quality Live Sunderland vs Norwich streaming is available here.Sunderland vs Norwich Live Stream online Premier LeagueVideo Free The match will take plcae at Stadium of Light on 3/17/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Premier League history will tell you that in many of the seasons
of its existence there's been a team which has slid inexorably from a
position of relative comfort to relegation to the Championship.
Two seasons ago, for example, Blackpool were in the top 10 after 21 games before a terrible run of results saw them gather just 11 more points to finish 19th. They had been as high as eighth at the turn of the year.
As the number of fixtures remaining reaches single digits, supporters study with increasing anxiety the challenges that lie ahead - and for the Black Cats the sight of Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton in the next five weeks seems ominous.
Before that sinister quartet is the visit of Norwich, whose own recent failings have left them slamming on the brakes to halt their own freefall. On 15 December the Canaries were seventh; they've since gathered only eight points in 12 games and sit just above their weekend hosts.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill, rather than opt to play down the significance of this fixture, has described it as "a big, big game". The outcome may prove pivotal for both clubs.

Two seasons ago, for example, Blackpool were in the top 10 after 21 games before a terrible run of results saw them gather just 11 more points to finish 19th. They had been as high as eighth at the turn of the year.
Such examples are prevalent in the world's
most ruthless division and serve as a regular warning to those who
reside in so-called mid-table obscurity that cantering to the end of a
season can be a hazardous pursuit.
These tales will surely have been recounted on Wearside
lately as Sunderland's stuttering form has started to cast them in the
role of this year's potential Blackpool.
As the number of fixtures remaining reaches single digits, supporters study with increasing anxiety the challenges that lie ahead - and for the Black Cats the sight of Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton in the next five weeks seems ominous.
