Mid-table stability meets a clash of form this Saturday as Bournemouth host a struggling Sunderland at the Vitality Stadium. With both teams effectively clear of the relegation scrap, the focus shifts to a top-half finish in what has been a highly respectable Premier League return for the Black Cats. 

The two sides are separated by just two points in the standings. Bournemouth (8th) are enjoying a stellar unbeaten run, while Sunderland (12th) has hit a rocky patch, losing three of their last four league outings. 

The reverse fixture in November was a modern classic. Sunderland clawed back from 2–0 down to win 3–2, thanks to goals from Enzo Le Fée and Brian Brobbey. Bournemouth will be eager for revenge to avoid a season sweep.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Bournemouth vs Sunderland today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
