Comments and predictions for Crystal Palace vs Sunderland: Home team dominates

Latest Crystal Palace vs Sunderland team information

Ismaila Sarr has been directly involved in nine goals in his last 12 starts for Palace in all competitions (six goals, three assists), but he is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury while on international duty with Senegal.

Adam Wharton also withdrew from the England squad with a thigh injury and joined Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad (knee), Eddie Nketiah (thigh) and Caleb Kporha (back).

New signings Yermy Pino, Christantus Uche and Jaydee Canvot are all likely to start their Premier League debuts, with Pino likely to replace Sarr. Jefferson Lerma could replace Wharton in midfield to partner Will Hughes – who is in danger of becoming only the fifth player in Premier League history to be booked in his first four games of the season.

For Sunderland, Daniel Ballard is close to returning from a groin injury but this is too early for him. Romaine Mundle (hamstring), Aji Alese, Luke O'Nien (both shoulder), Leo Hjelde (calf) and Dennis Cirkin (wrist) remain absent.

New signings Brian Brobbey, Bertrand Traore and Lutsharel Geertruida – signed in the last two days of the transfer window – could all feature, with Geertruida likely to start at right-back but facing competition from Trai Hum.

Wilson Isidor has scored twice in three substitute appearances and will compete with Eliezer Mayenda for a starting spot up front. Simon Adingra will also be hoping to secure a starting spot on either wing, replacing Chemsdine Talbi or Enzo Le Fee.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Sunderland football review

Crystal Palace went into the international break in high spirits, having secured their place in the Conference League group stages following a 1-0 aggregate win over Fredrikstad in the play-offs, before going on to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the Premier League a fortnight ago.

A superb long-range strike from captain Marc Guehi – who remained at the club after a move to Liverpool collapsed on deadline day – and goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr saw the Eagles soar to an impressive victory at Villa Park, their first Premier League win of the season following back-to-back draws against Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

Palace are reportedly worried that manager Oliver Glasner could leave amid backroom tensions after a turbulent summer transfer window, but the club are still hoping to convince the Austrian to stay and even extend his contract, which expires next summer.

Including last season, Palace are currently on the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League, with nine games unbeaten (W3 D6). The last time they went at least 10 games unbeaten in the top flight was between May and October 1990 (12 games).

Last season's FA Cup winners are also confident at home, where they are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches in all competitions since mid-February. In addition, Palace have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League games against newly promoted sides (W10 D5), the only defeat being a 1-2 defeat to Luton Town in November 2023.

Predicted to be relegation candidates, Sunderland made an impressive start in their return to the Premier League after eight years of absence, winning 6 points out of a possible 9.

A 2-0 defeat at Burnley was the only blemish, with Regis Le Bris leading his new side to 3-0 home wins over West Ham and 2-1 home wins over Brentford, the latter coming just before the international break.

Currently in the top six of the table, Sunderland are aiming to become only the third new team in Premier League history to win three of their opening four games of a season, after Nottingham Forest (1994) and Bolton Wanderers (2001).

The head-to-head stats are encouraging: the visitors have won five of their last six Premier League meetings with Palace (D1). In eight meetings, the hosts' only win was a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park in August 2013.

However, Sunderland have often struggled away from home early in the season: they have failed to win any of their last 25 Premier League games played in August or September (D12 L13) since a 1-0 win at Bolton in August 2009.
