Sunderland vs Everton: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Sunderland vs Everton in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Sunderland vs Everton

• Date: Monday, 03 November 2025

• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT

• Venue: Stadium of Light

Sunderland have been on a roll lately, except for that hiccup against Manchester United. They've got a solid defence and can nick goals when it counts. Everton, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down. They've shown they can score but also that they can leak goals. This one could be tight, with Sunderland's home form giving them the edge.

Everton will look to exploit any gaps in Sunderland's backline, but it won't be easy. Sunderland's midfield has been controlling games, and they'll need to keep that up to stifle Everton's attacking threats. If Sunderland can keep their focus and intensity, they might just edge this one.

Sunderland's recent form has been impressive, with three wins in their last five games. They've shown they can grind out results, especially away from home. That loss to Manchester United was a blip, but they bounced back well against Wolves. If they bring that same energy and focus, they'll be tough to beat at home.

Recent Premier League results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Chelsea (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Wolves (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Manchester United (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Nottingham Forest (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Aston Villa (H)

Everton's form has been a bit patchy, with only one win in their last five games. They've struggled against the bigger teams but managed to get a result against Crystal Palace. Their defence has been leaky, which could be a concern against a confident Sunderland side. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to get anything from this game.

Recent Premier League results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Tottenham (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Manchester City (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Crystal Palace (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs West Ham (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Liverpool (A)

The head-to-head record between these two sides shows a mix of results. Everton have had some big wins, like the 6-2 thrashing in 2015, but Sunderland have also had their moments, including a 3-0 victory in 2016. It's been a while since they last met, so this one could go either way based on current form.

Predicted lineup: Roefs (GK), Hume (DF), Ballard (DF), Geertruida (DF), Mukiele (DF), Mandava (DF), Traore (MF), Xhaka (MF), Sadiki (MF), Le Fee (MF), Isidor (AT)

Sunderland's predicted lineup shows a strong defensive unit, which has been key to their recent success. Their midfield, led by Xhaka and Sadiki, will need to control the game and feed Isidor up front.

Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), O'Brien (DF), Keane (DF), Tarkowski (DF), Mykolenko (DF), Gueye (MF), Garner (MF), Ndiaye (MF), Dewsbury-Hall (MF), Grealish (MF), Beto (AT)

Everton's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on their attacking midfield to create chances. Their defence, with Keane at the heart, will need to be solid to keep Sunderland's forwards at bay.

• Wilson Isidor vs Michael Keane: This will be a crucial battle between Sunderland's sharp attacker and Everton's experienced defender.

• Granit Xhaka vs Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: The midfield duel between Sunderland's Xhaka and Everton's Dewsbury-Hall could dictate the tempo of the game.

• Noah Sadiki (Sunderland): Sadiki's energy and creativity in midfield will be vital for Sunderland's chances of winning.

• James Garner (Everton): Garner's ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball will be key for Everton's attacking play.
