The Black Cats have done quite well since promotion and Gary Neville has attributed that to their spending in the summer. They spent around 160 million on multiple players and it seems that the business they did in the summer has benefited them. Most of their players are performing at a high level and it will be interesting to see if Sunderland can secure a respectable finish this season.

The Reds eased to a 2-0 win at the London Stadium, while Sunderland staged a dramatic comeback from two goals down to defeat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Stadium of Light. Helped by Lucas Paqueta's baffling dismissal, Liverpool snapped a three-game losing streak in the capital, overcoming an in-form West Ham side. Alexander Isak ended his seven-match Premier League goal drought with his first strike for the club, before Cody Gakpo sealed the victory late on-rewarding Arne Slot for a bold selection call.

Two sides stuck together in the Premier League standings meet on Tuesday night as Newcastle host Tottenham at St James' Park. Both clubs sit mid-table only separated by goal difference, though their momentum could not be more different. Newcastle arrive buoyed by a commanding 4-1 win over Everton, while Spurs continue to drift after a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. The win on Merseyside snapped a six-match away drought for Eddie Howe's side, with Malick Thiaw scoring inside one minute and later adding another.
