Trai Hume catches Ollie Scarles's knee. The touch from Scarles to go back inside is excellent. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Can't really argue with this one. Ollie Scarles gets into the penalty area, Trai Hume sticks out a leg, brings the home man down and Jarrod Bowen has a chance to make it 2-0. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Robin Roefs in the Sunderland goal has to come out of his penalty area and clear, which he just does in time before a jumping in Taty Castellanos can get there. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Sunderland's Dan Ballard shows his strength to hold off Tomas Soucek, which is not an easy task, and he gets to a cross first and his header is just inches wide of the top corner. Very close to 1-1. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Jarrod Bowen now has the outright most Premier League goal involvements for West Ham (102 - 62 goals and 40 assists), overtaking Michail Antonio (101).

West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Pablo Felipe is after his first goal for the Hammers since his £21. 8m move from Portuguese side Gil Vicente earlier this month, but, from a tight angle and under pressure from defender and goalkeeper, he can only send a shot wide of the post. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland A chance for Sunderland to grab an immediate equaliser and it drops to stand-in captain Trai Hume, but he gets too much height on a looped header and it is over the top. West Ham 1-0 Sunderland Ally Mc Coist Former Rangers striker on TNT Sports It's different class of an assist and a finish. Jarrod Bowen gets to the byline and he just hangs it up. Crysencio Summerville at the back post for the header, beautiful. It's a top-class goal. Crysencio Summerville The Hammers lead with their first real look at goal. All credit to Jarrod Bowen as he stands up the ball into the middle from the right and Crysencio Summerville is there to leap and power a header into the back of the net from six yards out. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Iain: Very pleased for Trai Hume to be captaining the side in Xhaka's absence. His rise from League One to Premier League captain is quite a story along with his international career. Crysencio Summerville, down West Ham's left, is going to be a threat and he has the beating of his marker. He gets a cross in, but headed away. West Ham 0-0 Sunderland Brian Brobbey leads a counter for Sunderland, but Romaine Mundle doesn't really know what to do next when he gets it, he cuts inside but Mateus Fernandes gets a foot in to wipe out the danger. West Ham 0-0 Sunderland West Ham have an opportunity to do some damage as Mateus Fernandes has the ball at his feet 40 yards out, but it is a wasted floated ball straight into the hands of Robin Roefs, followed by grumbles from the home fans. West Ham 0-0 Sunderland West Ham win a free-kick deep on the left and it is a chance to get the ball into the box, but it is quickly cleared by a good defensive header from Omar Alderete. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Jeff: Big test for Sunderland today without Xhaka, can they step up? West Ham 0-0 Sunderland How much will Sunderland miss Granit Xhaka today? He has made more line breaking passes that have led to a goal than any other player in the Premier League this season (eight). Four of these have been direct assists by the Swiss, another league high. West Ham 0-0 Sunderland Almost a dream start for the visitors. They earn a corner on the right and West Ham don't do a good job of clearing it. It drops perfectly for Noah Sadiki and he fizzes a left-footed volley at goal from the edge of the penalty area, and it would've dipped under the bar if Alphonse Areola had not sprung up to tip it over the top. West Ham 0-0 Sunderland Jarrod Bowen is making his 216th Premier League appearance for West Ham today (level with Carlton Cole), with only Mark Noble (414), Aaron Cresswell (312) and Michail Antonio (268) playing more games for the Hammers in the competition.

They’ve won their last three all by the same 1-0 scoreline. Sunderland are looking to complete the Premier League double over West Ham for just the second time, previously doing so in 2010-11 when the Hammers were relegated. West Ham have lost just one of their last 21 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W16 D4) and are unbeaten in 12 since a 2-1 loss to Brentford in October 2021. West Ham ended their 10-game winless run by beating Spurs 2-1 last time out. However, the Hammers haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 19 Premier League games, only once having a longer run (24 between March and November 2008). Sunderland are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for just the second time this season, previously beating Wolves and Chelsea in October. However, they’re winless in six away from home (D3 L3) since that 2-1 win over the Blues. Sunderland have won 16 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, with only Aston Villa gaining more (18). It’s the Black Cats’ most in a single campaign in the competition, and most by a promoted side since West Brom in 2010-11 (27). West Ham have conceded a league-high 12 headed goals in the Premier League this season. Only in 2010-11 have they shipped more (15), which was the last campaign they were relegated. West Ham haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their 17 Premier League games under Nuno Espírito Santo. Only three managers have gone longer from the start of their career with a club before – Brian Laws (18 with Burnley in 2009-10), Paul Lambert (21 with Norwich in 2011-12) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (21 with Leicester last season). After a run of 28 games without a goal since October 2024, Crysencio Summerville has now scored in his last two appearances for West Ham in all competitions. He last scored in three in a row in February 2024 while in the Championship with Leeds. Sunderland’s Granit Xhaka has made more line breaking passes that have led to a goal than any other player in the Premier League this season (8). Four of these have been direct assists by the Swiss, another league high. Copyright © 2026 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
