(Reuters) - Sunderland are in a scrap for Premier League survival and will be aiming to end their eight-game winless run when they visit fellow relegation candidates Middlesbrough on Wednesday, manager David Moyes has said.

Basement side Sunderland, who are 12 points from safety with six games to play, could go level on points with Middlesbrough, who have played one game more than them, if they win the Tees-Wear derby at the Riverside Stadium.
