Sunderland fixtures: Le Bris' side host West Ham in PL return

2 weeks ago 2

Sunderland will start their first Premier League campaign since suffering relegation in 2016/17 against West Ham United at the Stadium of Light on August 16.

Regis Le Bris' side begin their return to the top-flight at home before they travel to Turf Moor to face fellow newly-promoted side Burnley on August 23.

The eagerly awaited return of the Tyne-Wear derby against Newcastle in the Premier League will be played at home on December 13, with the return fixture at St James' Park on March 21.

Sunderland will have to wait until December 27 to see if they can beat Leeds, after failing to do so in both meetings in the Championship last season, amongst a tricky festive period.

The Black Cats play six games across the month and will need to navigate a relentless run of fixtures against Liverpool, Man City, Brighton, Newcastle and Leeds.

They will face Pep Guardiola's new-look City side twice in the month, on December 6 in Manchester and December 30 at home.

It does not get any easier at the end of the season, either. Sunderland could be tasked with searching for points against Man Utd, Everton and Chelsea in their final three games.
