• Crystal Palace remain unbeaten after three games, picking up 5 points against last season’s top seven.

• Sunderland have 6 points on the board after beating Brentford last time out, courtesy of a 96th-minute Wilson Isidor winner.

• This is the first clash between these sides since 2017; however, six of their eight Premier League meetings back then produced 4 or more goals.

🔵 Unbeaten Run Sparks Optimism for Palace

Crystal Palace have plenty of reasons for optimism after collecting 5 points from their opening three games. Glasner’s side have already shown a variety of dimensions to their game - digging deep to hold off Chelsea, standing firm against Forest, and then blowing Aston Villa away in style.

That 3-0 win at Villa Park was particularly eye-catching. Despite seeing just 42% of the ball and attempting only 6 shots, the Eagles carved out 4 big chances and racked up an impressive 2.65xG.

Perhaps equally significant is that they managed to do it without Eberechi Eze, following his move to Arsenal. The big question now is how they’ll adapt long term without their former talisman.

🔴 Sunderland’s Promising Points Return Masks Attacking Concerns

After a significant summer outlay, all eyes were on Sunderland, and on the surface, the investment looks to be paying off. Six points from their first three games has given them a solid platform, though it’s worth noting that the fixture list has been kind to them.

The main worry remains in attack. As mentioned earlier, Regis Le Bris’s side have averaged just 0.43xG per 90 from open play so far this season.

Defensively, though, there’s much more encouragement - Sunderland have limited their opponents to just one goal and 0.66xG per game, which is undoubtedly an impressive feat for a newly promoted outfit.

📊 Crystal Palace v Sunderland H2H

Given that Sunderland were playing Championship and even League One football until recently, there’s not a boatload of head-to-head information to share with you here.

Sunderland’s last meeting with Crystal Palace was way back in 2017, although it’s not one the fans are likely to forget. On that occasion, they thumped Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park, with Jermain Defoe scoring a brace and winning man-of-the-match.

Interestingly, of the 8 Premier League showings of this fixture, 6 have produced 4+ goals. Let’s hope the pair can pick up where they left off almost 10 years ago!
