How to watch Sunderland vs West Ham live: Stream, TV channel, team news, prediction
WATCH — Sunderland vs West Ham
Sunderland spent a decade in the Premier League from 2007 to 2017 before quickly falling into turmoil and, before you know it, the Black Cats spent nearly a decade trying to earn their way back. They spent four seasons in League One after suffering back-to-back relegations in 2017 and 2018, and were genuine surprise promotion candidates last season after finishing 16th a year prior. Less than three months after beating Sheffield United in the playoff final, Sunderland have spent just shy of $200 million for eight players, including former Arsenal captain (and new Sunderland skipper) Granit Xhaka for $23 million, central midfielder Habib Diarra ($40 million) from Strasbourg, winger Simon Adingra ($28 million) from Brighton and winger Chemsdine Talbi ($26 million) from Club Brugge. If you simply spend like a Premier League club, does that make you a Premier League club? We're going to find out.
Heading into the summer transfer window, you could have made a fantastic argument that the Premier League side in most desperate need of a full-on rebuild was West Ham. The counter-point is that the Hammers have undergone so much change in recent seasons that less explosive modifications would better serve Graham Potter's needs, and that appears to be the route they have gone. After finishing 14th, scoring just 46 goals and conceding 62 (bottom-6 in the PL in both), West Ham have made Jean-Clair Todibo's loan a permanent move, and added goalkeeper Mads Hermansen from relegated Leicester for $27 million, 20-year-old Senegalese wing back El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague ($25 million) and Kyle Walker-Peters and Callum Wilson on free transfers.

Isak saga 'extremely derailing' for team-mates and Howe
Former Premier League striker Glenn Murray says the Alexander Isak situation "is extremely derailing" for Newcastle players and "needs to come to an end sooner rather than later." It has been the soap opera of the transfer window, but with the curtain raising on the Premier League this evening, there is no clarity on whether Isak will remain in at Newcastle or get his desired move. Manager Eddie Howe has previously told BBC Sport's Ciaran Kelly the situation has not been "healthy" and has posed "a big challenge" for his squad to manage during pre-season. "It will have affected some more than others," Murray told the BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily podcast. "Every footballer understands that you are an individual entity and you need to look after yourself first and foremost. "Isak clearly thinks his time at the football club is up and he wants to win more trophies than just the League Cup. "He doesn't want to just be part of the Premier League and Champions League but be within a chance of winning them. "It's extremely derailing. But I am sure if he walked back into the dressing room ready to face Aston Villa, there would be 18 delighted players to see him back in black and white. "I do understand why he wants to leave. He has delivered what he promised and I think Newcastle have delivered on what they promised him. "There is no doubt that he will be leaving a football club that he has made better, but there does come a time in a player's career where they want to go for big trophies. "Ultimately, that is his level. He has improved so much that he is the one that the big clubs want. "This saga needs to come to an end sooner rather than later so that Newcastle can understand where they sit in the transfer market." Listen on BBC Sounds

How to watch all 380 Premier League games for $3/month on Setanta Sports
You've probably heard the Premier League described breathlessly as the richest sports league in the world, the greatest soap opera ever devised, perhaps even the LeBron James of soccer competitions. But cheap? This might be a first. After all, those eye-watering transfer fees and wages don't pay for themselves. It costs an arm and a leg to stream the Premier League in most places around the world, but not in Ukraine, where Setanta Sports is the exclusive broadcast partner. It's almost as revolutionary as the Bosman. Read on as we explain how to watch all 380 EPL games for less than $3/month on Setanta Sports, from anywhere in the world. Setanta Sports has exclusive rights to the Premier League, and will be showing all 380 games of the 25/26 season live — something that big streaming services like Netflix have been dreaming of for years. A subscription costs 109UAH (~$2.63) per month or 1090UAH (~$26.30) per year. The service is exclusive to Ukraine, and tune in you must first register an account. OUTSIDE UKRAINE? ACCESS SETANTA SPORTS FROM ANYWHERE WITH A VPN. Setanta operates in multiple countries around the world, but this service is exclusive to customers in Ukraine. Subscribers traveling or working outside Ukraine will need to use a VPN to access Setanta Sports' EPL coverage elsewhere, such as the U.S. and Canada. There are lots of VPNs but NordVPN is the one you can rely on to unblock Setanta Sports and stream the EPL like a pro. NordVPN deal: 3 Months Extra Free Boasting lightning fast speeds, great features, streaming power, and class-leading security, NordVPN is our #1 VPN.✅ 3 months extra FREE!✅ 76% off usual price Use Nord to unblock Setanta Sports and watch the EPL online with our exclusive deal. It's really easy to use a VPN to watch all 380 EPL on Setanta Sports. 1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite. 2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you want to watch an EPL stream on Setanta Sports, choose 'Ukraine' from the list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Setanta Sports, sign in, and watch any game live. Setanta Sports offers comprehensive coverage of the 25/26 Premier League season, with the convenience of a single subscription and, best of all, it's one of the cheapest ways of watching the EPL anywhere. For comparison, fans in the U.K. need to subscribe to three separate services, each of which costs significantly more than Setanta Sports, and even then they can only watch select fixtures. Android (phone & tablet) — Android 7.0 and above Chromecast Hisense Smart TVs — VIDAA U6 and above iOS (iPhone & iPad) — iOS 13 / iPadOS 13 and above LG Smart TVs — WebOS 4.0 and above Samsung Smart TVs — Tizen 4.0 and above It could well be. At 109UAH (~$2.63), the monthly subscription is already a fraction of what you'd pay for EPL coverage elsewhere, but if you sign up for a year, you'll pay just 1090UAH (~$26.30). That works out at 90.83UAH (~$2.19) per month. And did we mention it's live streaming all 380 games this season? For a high definition (1080p) streaming experience, Setanta Sports recommends an 8Mbps connection. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
