Wolves vs Sunderland – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Sunderland travel to Molineux on Saturday afternoon looking to secure a place in the top half of the Premier League table with a victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Black Cats aim to complete their first league double over Wolves since the 1949-50 campaign. Meanwhile, Wolves are merely playing for pride after their relegation was confirmed earlier this month. They currently sit bottom of the table, three points behind managerless Burnley.

The hosts have struggled significantly in front of goal during this difficult 2025-26 season. They have failed to find the net in a league-high eighteen different Premier League matches. That said, Wolves remain unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Sunderland. Rob Edwards insists his players are still giving their absolute all for the supporters.
