Match Facts
Sunderland are winless in their last five meetings with Brentford in all competitions (D2 L3), with the first since a 2-0 home loss in the Championship in February 2018.
Sunderland vs Brentford will be the 940th different fixture to have been played in the Premier League. They last faced in the top-flight in the 1946-47 campaign, with the Black Cats winning 3-0 away and 2-1 at home.
In their previous 16 Premier League campaigns, only once have Sunderland won their first two home matches in a season, winning their opening two at the Stadium of Light in 2001-02 under Peter Reid.
Despite losing 3-1 to Nottingham Forest on MD1, no team have won more away Premier League points than Brentford in 2025 (23 – W7 D2 L2). It’s already more away points than they managed in 2022 (22), 2023 (19) and 2024 (12) and is their joint most away top-flight wins in one year, also winning seven in 1937.
Sunderland completed 530 passes against Burnley in their last game, their most ever in a Premier League match on record (since 2005-06). Granit Xhaka completed 93 of those – 14 more than any other Black Cats player in a top-flight match Opta has on record.
Brentford have won their last eight Premier League matches against newly promoted teams by an aggregate score of 28-6, with their last defeat to a promoted side coming in March 2024 away at Burnley.
On MD1, Régis Le Bris became the sixth of the last seven Sunderland managers to win their first home Premier League match in charge – of those, the only to win their last first two home games was Gus Poyet in 2013, with the Uruguayan the only manager to do so for the Black Cats in the competition.
Only four players have won possession more often in the Premier League this season than Brentford’s Yehor Yarmoliuk (13) – the Ukrainian ranked second for this metric per 90 minutes last season (7.1, min. 1,000 mins played), behind Ryan Christie (7.7).
Dango Ouattara scored the winner on his Premier League debut for Brentford in their 1-0 win over Aston Villa – no Bees player has ever netted in his first two appearances in the competition for the club.
Despite playing 139 minutes in the Premier League so far this season, Sunderland’s Eliezer Mayenda has made just three passes, completing two. This is both the fewest passes and successful passes in a player’s first two Premier League starts on record since 2003-04.
