Everton head into their final home game of the Premier League campaign desperate to end a frustrating five-game winless run and keep alive their slim hopes of securing a Conference League berth. As Sunderland have slim European chances, we predict a 2-1 home win. David Moyes’ side have shown attacking promise lately, averaging 1.70 goals scored per game across their last 10 matches, but defensive inconsistency has cost them valuable points. The Toffees have also been involved in entertaining fixtures recently, with their games averaging 3.30 total goals per match. There are no fresh injury concerns for Everton, although Jack Grealish, Idrissa Gueye, and Jarrad Branthwaite remain sidelined.
Sunderland travel to Goodison Park with little pressure after settling comfortably into mid-table. The Black Cats earned a respectable goalless draw with Manchester United last time out and have been slightly more effective away from home than at the Stadium of Light in recent weeks. Sunderland average 1.33 goals scored per away game, while both teams have scored in 67% of their recent road fixtures. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. Historically, Everton have enjoyed this matchup, winning 14 of the previous 25 meetings between the clubs.
As the hosts still have motivation and generally perform well in this fixture, Home Win should be considered, alongside Everton Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Everton games average 3.30 total goals across the last 10 matches).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 15:00.
