📈 Current Form (2025 Season)

Sunderland
The Black Cats have exceeded expectations since their Premier League comeback. Sitting in 10th place with 13 points from 9 matches, they’ve earned plaudits for their high-energy pressing and fluid attacking play under Tony Mowbray. A 2-0 home win against Bournemouth and a 1-1 draw away at Wolves show that Sunderland can compete with established top-flight sides. Key to their resurgence has been the form of Jack Clarke, who has netted 4 times already this season, and Jobe Bellingham, whose maturity at just 20 years old continues to impress.

Defensively, Sunderland remain a work in progress — they’ve conceded 13 goals in 9 matches, but their attacking intent often compensates. Playing in front of their home crowd, they’ve lost just once in 2025, a narrow defeat to Arsenal.

Everton
Sean Dyche’s Everton enter Round 10 in 15th place with 9 points. Their campaign has been inconsistent: they boast a strong defensive structure but often lack creativity up front. Everton’s last five Premier League games include two wins (over Brentford and Crystal Palace), a draw with Fulham, and two losses to Spurs and Manchester United.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s return to form (3 goals in 4 matches) gives the Toffees a much-needed edge in attack, while Jordan Pickford, facing his boyhood club Sunderland, will be desperate to keep a clean sheet on his return to Wearside.

⚔️ Head-to-Head Record

The historic rivalry between Sunderland and Everton stretches across decades of English football.

  • In their last 10 Premier League meetings, Everton have dominated with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.

  • Sunderland’s last victory over the Toffees came in May 2016 (3–0 at the Stadium of Light), a game that secured their survival that season.

  • Everton have won their past three league visits to Sunderland, with a combined scoreline of 7–2.

However, this is a new-look Sunderland — youthful, fearless, and thriving on home momentum. The psychological balance may be more even than the historical data suggests.

🧩 Predicted Line-ups

Sunderland (4-2-3-1):
Patterson; Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Cirkin; Neil, Ekwah; Roberts, J. Bellingham, Clarke; Rusyn.

Key players:

1WIN WELCOME BONUS

Key players:

  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin – The focal point of Everton’s attack; his aerial strength and timing are vital.

  • Amadou Onana – Physical, dominant midfielder who can dictate tempo.

  • Dwight McNeil – Creativity and set-piece delivery may prove decisive.

⚙️ Tactical Breakdown

Sunderland thrive in transitions. Their pace down the flanks, combined with intelligent movement from Bellingham and Rusyn, allows them to punish high lines. Expect Mowbray’s side to press high early, using crowd energy to unsettle Everton’s build-up.

Everton, meanwhile, are built for structure and counter-punching. Dyche will set his men deep, relying on compact lines, long diagonals, and the physical duel between Calvert-Lewin and Ballard. Set-pieces could be a key battlefield — Everton have scored 30% of their goals this season from dead-ball situations.

This tactical clash — Sunderland’s youthful dynamism vs. Everton’s defensive pragmatism — promises a tense, closely contested match.
