Burnley’s return to the Premier League was less than ideal as they were beaten 3-0 by Tottenham. Scott Parker had plenty of pressure and opportunities, but Richarlison’s class and Brennan Johnson’s composure were the difference. There were some defensive errors and a shout for a clinical edge going forward to take positives from. The Clarets will now look to bounce back, where they were a strong team at home last season in the Championship.
Sunderland AFC: Recent Matches and Form

- Sunderland 1-0 Augsburg (1 July 2025)

Sunderland’s return to the Premier League was as good as it could have been. Their 3-0 victory against West Ham at the Stadium of Light sent out a statement across the league. Mayenda, Ballard, and Isidor all contributed goals whilst displaying a good defensive shape. Graham Potter’s side were organised, clinical and confident, which puts them in a good place going to Turf Moor.

Burnley: 3 Key Players to Watch
Lyle Foster (Striker): Even though Burnley was thumped 3-0 by Tottenham, Foster could be a very positive feature for Burnley. His speed and movement were good, and he created a couple of chances for himself. Probably a fair bit of defeatism limited his influence.
Hannibal Mejbri (Attacking Midfielder): Playing centrally behind Foster, Mejbri was attempting to help the Burnley attack. Mejbri got involved early with some transition attacking possibilities. Although Burnley did not look dangerous breaking down Tottenham, Mejbri’s vision and range of passing came through in their buildup.
Hjalmar Ekdal (Centre Back): Ekdal was probably the key in Burnley’s defensive system. Even though Burnley lost, Ekdal’s aerial presence and ability to tackle were important against Tottenham’s direct threats to score goals.
Sunderland: 3 Key Players to Watch
Granit Xhaka (Central Midfielder): Xhaka controlled Sunderland’s midfield in their 3–0 win against West Ham. His passing accuracy and tactical awareness were vital in controlling the tempo and connecting defence to attack.
Simon Adingra (Right Wing): Adingra was Sunderland’s main creative outlet and played a critical part in their attacking threat. His dribbling and pace opened up West Ham’s defence.
Wilson Isidor (Striker): Isidor led Sunderland’s line and scored in their 3–0 win against West Ham. His movement and finishing were key in breaking down West Ham’s defence.

Burnley FC (4-2-3-1):
