Both sides have won one match this season.
Brentford will host Sunderland at the Gtech Community Stadium in a Matchday 3 fixture of the English Premier League 2026-27 season on Saturday, September 5, 2026. The hosts remain unbeaten in the league, although both sides have managed one victory, making this an even contest.
A stunning 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur provided the perfect league start to Brentford, with Keane Lewis-Potter, Vitaly Janelt, and Michael Kayode scoring for the Bees. Keith Andrews’ side followed this up with a 1-1 draw away at Leeds United.
Despite being the slight favourites for today’s fixture, the hosts have a few injuries to contend with. Sepp van den Berg, Antoni Milambo, Mathias Jensen, and Josh Dasilva are all unavailable.
Sunderland kicked off their league campaign with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to newly promoted Ipswich Town, with Jack Clarke scoring a 90th-minute winner. However, the Black Cats regrouped at home to secure a 1-0 victory over Fulham through Wilson Isidor. The visitors have a relatively full squad available, with only Habib Diarra out through injury.
