Crystal Palace and Sunderland meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday with both sides looking to continue excellent starts to the season.
Oliver Glasner's FA Cup and Community Shield-winning side are one of just three sides unbeaten in the Premier League, with a stunning 3-0 win at Villa Park following impressive draws with Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
They have also qualified for the Europa Conference League, handled the exit of Eberechi Eze and the Marc Guehi saga which eventually ended in the captain's move to Liverpool not going through.
Sunderland have had a dream return to the top-flight with the last-gasp win over Brentford making it two from two at home. They have lost their only game on the road so far at Burnley and face a tough task here against the Eagles.
The Sporting News has all the latest odds, tips and predictions for this big game.
