Sunderland returned to the Premier League for the first time in eight years having defeated Sheffield United in the Playoff final last season. The Black Cats have made a remarkable start to the campaign as they aim to buck the trend of promoted sides suffering immediate relegation in each of the last two seasons.

Backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
