Match Facts

  • Brentford are unbeaten in four home games against Sunderland in all competitions (W2 D2) since losing 1-0 in August 1987 in a third tier meeting.

  • Sunderland suffered a 3-0 defeat in their most recent Premier League game against Brentford in January – the Black Cats have never lost consecutive league meetings with the Bees.

  • Sunderland have won just eight points in their last 16 away Premier League matches in London (W2 D2 L12), losing their last three and conceding three goals in every defeat (0-3 vs Brentford, 1-3 vs West Ham, 0-3 vs Arsenal).

  • Brentford have kept five clean sheets in their 11 Premier League home games in 2026, including in three of the last four. It’s as many shutouts as they kept at the Gtech Community Stadium in both 2025 (2) and 2024 (3) combined.

  • Of the 17 ever present clubs since the start of last season, Sunderland have scored the fewest first half goals both overall (14) and as a percentage of their total (32%) in the Premier League.

  • Across their 192 Premier League matches so far, two of Brentford’s top-seven games for shots have been in their two games this season – 26 vs Spurs on MD1 and 22 vs Leeds on MD2. Only Manchester United (54) have had more shots than the Bees this season (48).

  • Sunderland accumulated an xG of 2.02 in their 1-0 win over Fulham on MD2 – across the last two Premier League seasons, only in their victory over Newcastle in March this year (2.36) have they had a higher xG total.

  • Habib Diarra has two assists in his last four Premier League appearances for Sunderland, both as a substitute for goals scored by Wilson Isidor. In their Premier League history, only Emanuele Giaccherini (3) has more assists as a sub.

  • Only Diego Gómez (8) has had more shots without scoring in the Premier League so far this season than Brentford’s Igor Thiago (7). The Brazilian had the best conversion rate of any player to have 25+ shots in the competition last term (26.2%).

  • Since their return to the Premier League last season, Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor has scored more goals as a substitute than any other player in the competition (5), with his winner against Fulham last week coming from the bench.
