Manager David Moyes is hoping forgotten man Victor Anichebe can rescue Sunderland's season with relegation staring them in the face.
The Black Cats entertain Manchester United on Sunday lying 10 points adrift of safety with just eight games remaining and having won only one of their last 13.
Perhaps more worrying is the fact they have not scored a single goal in 15 minutes shy of 10 hours of league football, since Jermain Defoe collected his 14th of the season at Crystal Palace on February 4.
Free signing Anichebe returned from a knee injury which had sidelined him since January as a substitute at Leicester in midweek, and Moyes hopes the muscular striker can rediscover the form which made him an instant favourite on Wearside just when his club needs it most.
