Burnley vs Sunderland Preview

Burnley, reeling from a 3-0 loss to Tottenham, aim to leverage their strong home form from last season’s Championship campaign, where they secured 100 points. Captain Josh Cullen, who created five chances against Spurs, will be key.

Sunderland coming from by a 3-0 win over West Ham, seek consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since 1980-81. Ballard’s defensive prowess and goal-scoring debut bolster their confidence. Burnley’s injury list includes Zeki Amdouni and Manuel Benson, while Sunderland miss Aji Alese and Luke O’Nien. Despite Burnley’s unbeaten home record against Sunderland (W2 D1), the Black Cats’ recent form suggests a tight contest.
