It’s Monday night football at the Stadium of Light, and Sunderland welcome Everton in what’s shaping up to be a gritty Premier League encounter. The Black Cats are buzzing after a strong start to life back in the top flight, while Everton are desperate to steady the ship after a patchy run of results. So, what can you expect from this one? Let’s break it down.
Regis Le Bris has his side firing, but he’s got a few injury concerns to manage. Habib Diarra (fibula) and Leo Hjelde (Achilles) are definitely out, while Ajibola Alese (shoulder), Omar Alderete (head), Romaine Mundle (hamstring), and Dennis Cirkin (wrist) are all doubts heading into the match.
Despite the knocks, Sunderland’s recent performances have been excellent. With three wins in their last five league outings, including big results against Chelsea and Wolves, they’re looking full of belief.
For Everton, things are a bit trickier. Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) is sidelined, which is a big loss for their backline. Merlin Röhl (hip) is a doubt, adding to David Moyes’ headaches as he returns to face his former club.
The Toffees’ defence has been their Achilles heel, having gone six games without a clean sheet. They’ll need to tighten up quickly if they’re going to leave Sunderland with anything to show for their efforts.
Predicted XI: Roefs (GK), Hume, Ballard, Geertruida, Mukiele, Mandava, Traore, Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee, Isidor.
Le Bris is expected to keep his sturdy 5-4-1 setup. Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki will control the midfield, providing the platform for Wilson Isidor to lead the line. The focus will be on solid shape, composure in possession, and hitting Everton with quick transitions.
Predicted XI: Pickford (GK), O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Beto.
Moyes is likely to rely on his experienced back four, with Michael Keane and James Tarkowski tasked with keeping Isidor quiet. In midfield, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will aim to dictate the tempo, while Beto provides the physical presence up top.
Sunderland’s resurgence under Le Bris has been one of the stories of the season so far. They’ve picked up 17 points already, with 10 of those coming at home, and they’ve conceded only twice at the Stadium of Light — the joint-best home defensive record in the league.
Everton, on the other hand, just can’t seem to find consistency. They’ve only won once in their last five games and haven’t kept a clean sheet in six. Moyes’ side struggle away from home, losing three of their four trips this season.
With Sunderland’s confidence soaring and Everton’s defence still shaky, this one feels like a home win waiting to happen.
Match Prediction: Sunderland to win. Bet with bet365.
Sunderland’s defence has been disciplined, and their home crowd makes the Stadium of Light a tough place to visit. Everton might push hard, but Sunderland’s balance and belief should see them through.
Correct Score Prediction: Sunderland 2-0 Everton. Bet with bet365.
Given both sides’ current form, expect a cautious first half before Sunderland start to take control.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
