Match Preview
Sunderland host Brentford at the Stadium of Light in the Carabao Cup, with Regis Le Bris's side desperate to find some rhythm after a testing run of results across all competitions.
The Black Cats arrive at this fixture sitting bottom of the Premier League, and their form has been difficult to read. A 0-0 draw with Leeds United at the weekend offered some defensive solidity, though it followed a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth and a loss to Brighton before that. Points have been hard to come by, and goals harder still.
Brentford come into this tie in considerably better shape. Keith Andrews's side drew 1-1 at Hull City on Saturday to extend their unbeaten run in the league, and they have lost just once in their last five matches across all competitions. A 3-0 win over Chelsea earlier in the season underlines their capacity to hurt top-half opposition.
The head-to-head record between these clubs is tight. Their most recent Premier League meeting, in September 2026, ended 1-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium, and the sides have split results fairly evenly across recent seasons.
For Sunderland, the cup offers a chance to build confidence at home. For Brentford, it is an opportunity to keep momentum building under Andrews and push deeper into the competition.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Sunderland vs Brentford.
