Sunderland will be eager to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City when they take on Brighton at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats suffered a 2-0 loss to Arsenal before going down 5-3 to Man City, despite Brian Brobbey scoring a hat-trick in the latter. The Dutch striker is doubtful after picking up an injury on international duty, while Granit Xhaka should recover in time to feature. Sunderland have been excellent at home this season, winning five of their last six matches and conceding just 0.50 goals per game.
Brighton, meanwhile, head into the clash on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Arsenal before the international break. The Seagulls have been in outstanding form, winning seven of their last 10 matches while averaging 2.70 goals per game. However, they have several injury concerns, with Yohanna, Kaoru Mitoma, Femi Azeez and Mats Wieffer among those ruled out. Brighton have also conceded 1.50 goals per game across their last four away matches.
Brighton have been in a splendid form at the start of the season, but with Sunderland being tough to bea at home, we believe that there is big value in betting on Draw, alongside Brighton or Draw and Over 1.5 goals (Brighton's 2.75-goal away scoring average).
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 10 October 2026 at 15:00.
