Match Facts
Burnley are unbeaten in their three Premier League home games against Sunderland (W2 D1), most recently a 4-1 victory in December 2016.
Sunderland have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight league games against Burnley, including each of the last three in a row. However, they’ve conceded exactly four goals in both of the other two games in this run.
Burnley have lost their first home Premier League match of the season in seven of their nine seasons in the competition (W2), with the other two seeing them defeat Man Utd in 2009-10 and Southampton in 2019-20.
Sunderland haven’t won any of their last 24 away Premier League matches in August or September (D12 L12) since a 1-0 victory against Bolton Wanderers in August 2009.
Burnley have already conceded 19% of the league goals they conceded in the entirety of 2024-25 in one Premier League match in 2025-26 (3/16). The Clarets are on a run of 21 consecutive Premier League matches without a clean sheet since a 2-0 win at Fulham in December 2023.
Sunderland started their 2025-26 Premier League campaign with a 3-0 win over West Ham. The Black Cats haven’t won their opening two matches in a top-flight season since 1980-81, while they last started with two clean sheets in 1976-77.
Burnley boss Scott Parker has taken charge of 27 home Premier League matches previously with Fulham and Bournemouth, winning just five of those games (D4 L18). His teams have scored just 16 goals at home, comfortably the lowest goals per game ratio of any manager with 10+ home games in the competition (0.59).
No player created more chances on MD1 of this season’s Premier League than Burnley’s Josh Cullen (5), his most ever in a league match for the club. It was the most by a Republic of Irishman in a Premier League game since Conor Hourihane created seven chances for Aston Villa vs Sheffield United in June 2020.
As well as scoring on his Premier League debut for Sunderland on MD1, central defender Dan Ballard led all of his teammates for shots (4), shots on target (2), duels won (10), aerial duels won (6), fouls won (4) and clearances (9)
Burnley manager Scott Parker has seen his teams concede three or more goals in each of his last four Premier League matches (three games with Bournemouth in August 2022, 0-3 vs Spurs on MD1). Only two managers have conceded 3+ goals in five in a row: Mick McCarthy in October/November 2005 with Sunderland and Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022 with Leeds.
