Who will win Sunderland vs. West Ham United?
Sunderland have spent heavily in the summer transfer window as they aim to fight for survival this term, with the likes of Granit Xhaka, Habib Diarra and Simon Adingra all joining the club.
As a result, the Black Cats will be hoping to show that they can compete with Premier League opposition when they take on potential relegation rivals West Ham United.
The Hammers flirted with the drop zone at times last season and are among the favourites to go down this term, but West Ham are certainly still the stronger team on paper heading into this clash.
West Ham did end last season with back-to-back away victories in the Premier League, and while Sunderland are expected to put up a formidable fight at their home ground, the Hammers are favourites to secure the three points.
