Premiership: Craddock misses out again

Sunderland boss Peter Reid will again be without influential defender Jody Craddock for the visit of West Ham to the Stadium of Light.

The former Cambridge player has been out of action since suffering a nasty gash to his shin in the 1-0 defeat at Leicester on November 3 and will miss out again tomorrow.

Ireland midfielder Kevin Kilbane is still struggling with an ankle problem and will sit out again against the Hammers.
