Sunderland burst out of the blocks this season and have been one of the Premier League’s biggest stories. Energy, intensity, momentum — they’ve had it all. But are there signs that the pace is catching up with them?

We break down: ◼️ Recent form and underlying numbers ◼️ Squad rotation and signs of tired legs ◼️ Key tactical battles ◼️ Where Bournemouth can hurt them ◼️ Score predictions ◼️ This could be a massive swing game in the European race.
