Enzo Maresca's team, currently in excellent form, has won six consecutive matches in all competitions. This winning streak includes victories over Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Coventry, Manchester United, FC Porto, and Norwich City. In contrast, Sunderland, a surprise package this season, has managed one win, one draw, and two losses in their opening four top-flight games. Additionally, they have secured wins in the Europa League and Carabao Cup. Maresca is keen to secure a victory over Sunderland ahead of an extended international break, which will not see the team in action until their match against Liverpool in a month's time.",
