Sunderland's Jack Rodwell is proving to be an unlucky charm for the Black Cats as his side are yet to win a Premier League match when the midfielder starts.
The run stretched to a record 34 games without a win after Sunderland's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Monday.
Since joining from Manchester City in a £10million deal back in August 2014, Sunderland have drawn 16 and lost 18 Premier League games.
