Premier League predictions and best bets: Burnley to end Sunderland unbeaten streak at home

Our football betting expert Jones Knows provides his insight ahead of Monday Night Football.

Sunderland remain the only Premier League team unbeaten at home this season. That is wild.

But trends do snap and, in betting, timing when to step in to profit from such a run ending is a key weapon to use when trying to profit in this game. It's 19/5 with Sky Bet to end here - a price on a Burnley win that is too big to pass up.

The absence of Granit Xhaka is pivotal. We saw exactly how fragile Sunderland can be without their midfield reference point in their worst performance of the season away at West Ham. Without Xhaka's control, leadership and ability to dictate tempo, Sunderland lost structure, lost composure and were far too easy to play through.

Burnley need wins now. So their approach will be positive and the market is dangling a very juicy carrot towards us regarding their win prospects.
