Match Facts

  • Sunderland lost both Premier League meetings with Everton the last time they faced in 2016-17, last losing more consecutively against the Toffees between November 2007 and May 2009 (4).

  • Having won four consecutive Premier League games at the Stadium of Light between August 2002 and May 2009, Everton won just two of their last eight visits to Sunderland (D4 L2). However, one of these was in their most recent visit in September 2016 (3-0).

  • Everton lost 1-0 at Leeds in their opening Premier League match this season. They last lost consecutive league games against promoted sides in the 2021-22 campaign, losing three in a row against Watford, Brentford and Norwich.

  • Sunderland have 17 points from nine Premier League games this season, their best record at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1999-00 (also 17). The Black Cats won their 10th game back then, 4-0 at Bradford City.

  • Sunderland have won five of their nine Premier League games so far in 2025-26 (D2 L2), just one fewer than they managed in the entirety of their last top-flight campaign in 2016-17 (W6 D6 L26). The Black Cats are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since May 2014 (a run of four).

  • Everton have lost 2-0 against Man City and 3-0 against Tottenham in their last two Premier League games. They’ve not lost three in a row under David Moyes since October 2011, while they last did so without scoring under the Scot in October 2005 (6 in a row).

  • Coming into this weekend’s games, no side has won more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Sunderland (7). It’s already one more than the Black Cats earned from behind in their last top-flight campaign of 2016-17 (6).

  • Wilson Isidor is Sunderland’s top scorer in the Premier League this season (4 goals in 9 games), with no other player netting more than once for the Black Cats. Only four players have reached five Premier League goals in 10 or fewer appearances for Sunderland – Steven Fletcher (4), Kevin Phillips (6), Darren Bent (6) and Asamoah Gyan (10).

  • Only Chris Richards (10) has made more successful long throws into the box than Nordi Mukiele this season (8), with Mukiele’s long throw eventually leading to Sunderland’s equaliser at Chelsea last time out.

  • Everton winger Jack Grealish has won more fouls (28) and created more chances from open play (19) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
