AC Milan vs Sunderland prediction, odds and how to watch

Sunderland stunned Chelsea with a 1-0 Premier League victory, converting a 36th-minute penalty to claim all three points despite Chelsea dominating possession and territory throughout.

AC Milan took all three points at Genoa thanks to goals from Alphadjo Cissè and Christian Pulisic, before Mikael Egill Ellertsson pulled one back in the 88th minute. Milan were the better side, but they made it far harder than it needed to be.

Dinamo Zagreb came to the Stadium of Light, did the basics, took their chances, and left with three points. Sunderland had the ball, the shots, and the woodwork on their side. None of it mattered.

Lenny Joseph scored twice in the second half as Ferencvárosi put AC Milan to the sword at San Siro, winning 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League and exposing a Milan side that simply did not compete. This was not an upset. This was accountability-free football from a club with standards it no longer enforces.

AC Milan are in freefall in the Europa League and Sunderland arrive in decent nick. Thursday night could get very uncomfortable for the hosts.

AC Milan host Parma at San Siro on Sunday evening with both sides carrying obvious flaws. The question is which set of players actually wants it more.

Newcastle United host Sunderland on Sunday in a Premier League Tyne-Wear derby that means everything and forgives nothing. One side is bleeding badly. The other has questions of their own to answer.
