Overview
- Kick-off is scheduled for 3pm BST at Old Trafford in the clubs’ first meeting since 2017.
- The match will not be shown live in the UK because of the Saturday 3pm blackout, with streaming available overseas such as on Peacock in the United States.
- Ruben Amorim faces heightened pressure after a 3-1 defeat to Brentford left United in the bottom half of the table.
- United remain short in defense with Noussair Mazraoui out until the international break and Lisandro Martinez still recovering, while Casemiro and Amad Diallo returned to training this week.
- Newly promoted Sunderland sit fifth and are unbeaten in four, with Reinildo serving a three-match ban as other defensive options are assessed.
