The Sunderland vs Brentford live stream could be a key fixture in determining who gets stuck in the relegation places, even this early in the 2025-26 Premier League season. Both teams have won a game and lost a game so far this campaign, and will see this as an opportunity to pick up a vital three points. You can watch the EPL fixture from anywhere in the world with a VPN.
The Black Cats made a terrific start on their return to the Premier League, hammering West Ham 3-0. However, that was followed up with a disappointing defeat against Burnley, another of the newly promoted sides. They also lost on penalties to Huddersfield in the Carabao Cup during the week, although its fair to say that that competition is not their focus. Régis le Bris's team pose a threat from setpieces thanks to the height of Dan Ballad. Eliezer Mayenda is also dangerous up front and a passionate crowd at the Stadium of Light will once again be behind the home side.
The Bees are having to navigate a huge amount of change this season, with Thomas Frank now manager at Spurs, and some key players departed. Furthermore, Yoanne Wissa's future remains uncertain. Things looked worrying after an opening day defeat to Nottm Forest. However, a win over Aston Villa in the EPL and mid-week cup success against Bournemouth should give Keith Andrews's players some confidence as they travel to Wearside. Summer signing Jordan Henderson is expected to be available to face his hometown club and battle with Sunderland skipper Granit Xhaka in midfield.
