Preview the matchup between West Ham United and Sunderland AFC with predictions, odds, over/under, betting lines and more.

Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League with a bang as they claimed a 3-0 home win against West Ham United.

That comes on Friday night at the London Stadium, and this was sufficiently damaging to West Ham as a team and as a club for manager Graham Potter — 90 minutes into the season — to be asked about “bouncing back”, if an immediate response is required against their London rivals. Even the club’s media asked him. It’s how bad this felt by 5pm.

Granit Xhaka put in a superb display on his Sunderland debut as the Black Cats thrashed West Ham 3-0 on their Premier League return.
