Live Premier League Clash: Sunderland vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Updates
Sunderland is currently in 9th place after seven matches. The team experienced a setback during their last outing, losing 2-0 against Manchester United. However, prior to that loss, Sunderland was unbeaten in four consecutive games, showcasing strong performances against teams that competed in Europe last season.
Sunderland’s Performance
At home, Sunderland is yet to lose this season, accumulating seven points from a possible nine in their three home matches. Their only dropped points came from a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, a game where they played with ten men due to a red card for Reinildo.
A victory against Wolverhampton today would mark Sunderland’s best home start to a Premier League season since 1968.
Wolverhampton’s Struggles
On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers is facing significant challenges. They are currently at the bottom of the Premier League table and remain winless after seven games. The season started poorly for Wolves, resulting in five losses and only two draws in their last matches against Tottenham and Brighton.
With a league-low five goals scored, Wolverhampton’s offensive struggles are evident. Notably, they share this unenviable statistic with Fulham, as they are the only teams without a player scoring multiple goals this season.

- Sunderland (4-2-3-1): Robin Roefs; Trai Hume, Omar Alderete, Dan Ballard, Nordi Mukiele; Noah Sadiki, Granit Xhaka; Bertrand Traore, Chris Rigg, Enzo Le Fee; Wilson Isidor.
- Wolverhampton (4-3-3): Sam Johnstone; Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, Hugo Bueno; Marshall Munetsi, Andre, Joao Gomes; John Arias, Jorgen Strand Larsen, Rodrigo Gomes.
