Premier League on Sky Sports: Sunderland vs Everton betting preview and tips
The Stadium of Light hosts Monday night football as high-flying Sunderland take on Everton in the Premier League.
Regis Le Bris’ men have been the surprise story of the season so far, climbing into the top four after a superb opening run.
Everton, though, make the long trip north hoping to rediscover some form after a tough few weeks.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Sunderland have picked up 17 points from their first nine games, a return that has eased any early fears of a relegation battle.
In particular, their 2-1 win at Chelsea last time out underlined their growing confidence and attacking intent.
Le Bris has his side playing with energy and belief, blending youthful enthusiasm with a fearless approach.
Everton, meanwhile, have lost their rhythm, taking just one win from their last five league matches.
Recent defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City have added pressure on David Moyes to find solutions quickly.
Ultimately, the Toffees will need a much-improved performance if they’re to halt Sunderland’s momentum under the lights on Wearside.
Best bets
Everton to win or draw
The Black Cats are enjoying a surprising run of form, but Everton will provide a stern test.
Despite losing three of their last five Premier League matches, the Toffees have faced tough trips to Liverpool and Manchester City plus a home clash with Tottenham, making this match a big opportunity to build momentum on the road.
Both teams to score
Both teams have scored in half of Sunderland’s home Premier League matches so far this season.
Over 2.5 cards in the match
This outcome has occurred in three of Sunderland’s last five Premier League matches and in two of Everton’s last four.
