Form & What’s At Stake
- Crystal Palace
are among the few Premier League sides that are still unbeaten at
this point in the 2025-26 season.
- At home, Palace have been strong: they have not lost
many of their recent Selhurst Park matches, especially in league fixtures
vs newly promoted teams.
- Sunderland,
newly promoted, have had a promising start: 2 wins from 3 matches, though
one loss as well. They’re looking to continue momentum.
- For Sunderland, a good away result could consolidate
their status and confidence; for Palace, maintaining their unbeaten run is
a target, especially against a club coming up from the Championship.
