Published by Sam Flores

Sept 16 : Benfica claimed a 2-0 Europa League victory over hosts AC Milan, while debutants Sunderland edged AZ Alkmaar and Olympique Lyonnais defeated Anderlecht in Brussels in the opening round of the league phase of the competition on Wednesday. Benfica took the lead in the 16th minute when Dodi Lukebakio was given time on the edge of the box to fire low into the far corner. It was 2-0 eight minutes into the second period as Jakub Kaminski volleyed into the net with a superb, controlled finish from 15 yards and the Portuguese side were full value for the win. Enzo Le Fee scored Sunderland’s first-ever Europa League goal when he slotted home a penalty in the 66th minute as they defeated Alkmaar at the Stadium of Light. Le Fee had won the spot-kick when he was fouled by Weslley Patati as he attempted a shot. Sunderland then rode their luck as Alkmaar missed several superb chances. A Svit Seslar own goal and a strike from Facundo Medina earned Bayer Leverkusen a routine 2-0 …

Arsenal are looking to continue their perfect start to the Premier League season when they travel to Sunderland on Saturday night. Martin Odegaard’s second-half goal sealed a 2-1 victory over London rivals Chelsea last weekend to make it three wins from three games for the reigning champions. The Arsenal skipper was also on target in midweek as his late strike secured a 1-0 win at Napoli in their Champions League opener. Sunderland, who finished an impressive seventh on their return to the top flight last term, have four points on the board after beating Fulham and drawing at Brentford in their last two outings. The Black Cats boasted one of the Prem’s best home records in the 2025/26 campaign and snatched a point at the death in last season’s fixture thanks to Brian Brobbey’s dramatic equaliser.

Brentford host Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday with the Bees hoping to continue their positive start to the season. Keith Andrews’s side kicked off their league campaign with a 3-0 home victory against Tottenham and they followed that up with a 6-1 demolition win against Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup second round. Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw at Leeds last Sunday but Andrews will be pleased with his side as they look to challenge for the European spots after missing out based on goal difference last season. Sunderland bounced back from an opening-weekend league defeat against Ipswich Town by beating Fulham 1-0 last Sunday with Wilson Isidor’s goal proving the difference between the sides. The Black Cats were promoted from the Championship in 2025 but Régis Le Bris’s side ended up finishing seventh to secure Europa League football for this season. Sunderland kick off their Europa League campaign against AZ Alkmaar later this month but it remains to be seen how Le Bris’s men will cope with juggling domestic and …

Sunderland and Fulham battle it out on Sunday afternoon with both sides hoping to bounce back from opening weekend defeats in the Premier League. The Black Cats returned to the top flight in 2025 and while many expected them to be in a relegation fight, Régis Le Bris’s side ended up finishing seventh to secure a Europa League spot for this season. It didn’t go to plan for Sunderland in their 2026/27 season opener though as they lost 2-1 at Ipswich Town with former Black Cats winger Jack Clarke netting in the 90th minute to snatch all three points. Fulham, meanwhile, are hoping to build on their 11th-placed finish in the Premier League last season but they had the tough task of welcoming Chelsea to Craven Cottage on Monday evening. Alvaro Arbeloa’s side, who beat AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup second round on Thursday night, lost 3-2 against London rivals Chelsea but they’ll be hoping to get their first Premier League points on the board on Sunday.

Ipswich begin life back in the Premier League by hosting last season’s surprise package Sunderland on Saturday. The Tractor Boys finished second in the Championship in 2025/26 to secure an instant return to the top tier, although they head into the new campaign under fresh management following Kieran McKenna’s surprise departure in June. Former Bournemouth and Wolves boss Gary O’Neil has taken the reins and revamped Ipswich’s squad with a whole host of new signings in a bid to avoid another relegation. Sunderland, on the other hand, have been quiet in the transfer market ahead of their second year back in the big time, with veteran full-back Thomas Meunier being the only arrival on a freebie. Régis Le Bris led the Black Cats to seventh place and Europa League qualification last term and the Frenchman will be wary about the dreaded ‘second season syndrome’.

The Andoni Iraola era at Liverpool begins on the pitch with a pre-season friendly against Sunderland in Nashville. The Spaniard has been brought in as the permanent replacement for Arne Slot after impressing at Bournemouth and is charged with revitalising the Anfield outfit. It’s been a pretty quiet summer so far for the Reds, but Iraola will know the importance of making every moment count ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. The Black Cats are preparing for their second campaign since returning to the top flight and no longer have the benefit of flying under the radar. A seventh-place finish represented a remarkable season for Regis Le Bris’s side and the French coach will want to see his players put the work in over the coming weeks to ensure they can follow that up in 2026/27.
