Vito Mannone issues rallying call ahead of Sunderland's match with Everton

Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone calls on the club's supporters to help the team to Premier League survival when they host Everton on Wednesday night.

Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone has called on the club's supporters to help make it a "special day" at the Stadium of Light when they host Everton.

The Black Cats will secure their Premier League status for another 12 months if they can defeat the Toffees in the North-East, and the Italian stopper has encouraged the fans to get involved in a fixture that could also result in the relegation of rivals Newcastle United.


Sunderland have spent most of the campaign languishing in the relegation zone, but eight points from their last four games has hauled the club to the brink of safety.

Their latest win came at home to Chelsea on Saturday, with Sam Allardyce's men twice coming from behind to seal a dramatic 3-2 victory.
