VS
Everton vs Sunderland blends Everton’s stronger historical reference with Sunderland’s capacity for sharp reversals and resilient cup contests. Everton won 6–2 at Goodison Park on 1 November 2015, Sunderland answered 3–0 at home in May 2016, and the teams drew 1–1 in November 2025. Sunderland then advanced on penalties after a 1–1 FA Cup tie at Everton on 10 January 2026, before winning 3–1 there on 17 May 2026. A new meeting would test that changing balance.

Stats for this game
Matchup Everton VS Sunderland
Everton set the traditional reference
Everton have supplied many of the clearest results in this English pairing. They won 4–0 at home on 9 April 2012, 3–0 away on 12 September 2016 and 2–0 at Goodison Park on 25 February 2017. The 6–2 home victory on 1 November 2015 was a particularly open example, while the 3–0 League Cup win on 20 September 2017 showed Everton could control a knockout tie.
Sunderland can turn the contest
Sunderland have repeatedly disrupted that hierarchy. Their 1–0 away win on 20 April 2013 and 3–0 home success on 11 May 2016 changed the tone, and a 1–1 draw at the Stadium of Light on 3 November 2025 kept the contest unresolved. The FA Cup meeting at Everton on 10 January 2026 also finished 1–1 before Sunderland prevailed 3–0 on penalties, while Sunderland won 3–1 at Everton on 17 May 2026. Those results make the fixture more than a simple Everton benchmark: venue, competition and composure can all shift the terms. A future meeting will ask whether Everton can restore control or Sunderland can extend its ability to resist the expected order.
