Is Sunderland vs Bournemouth on TV? Live streams as the Cherries travel north with a top four place up for grabs in the Premier League

Watch Sunderland vs Bournemouth today as two of the Premier League's upwardly mobile teams meet on Wearside. FourFourTwo brings you all the details on live streams and TV channels, wherever you are in the world.

Sunderland and AFC Bournemouth are surprisingly unfamiliar opponents. Historically they've been at different levels and have shared the top flight for just two seasons.

Both were in the Premier League and they were Bournemouth's first, in 2015-16 and 2016-17. The latter was Sunderland last season in the top tier before their promotion in May.

Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Sunderland vs Bournemouth online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Watch Sunderland vs Bournemouth from anywhere

A good VPN is your ticket to the game, even when you’re abroad.

Most streaming platforms have geo-restrictions that prevent you from watching your usual subscription services from another country. A Virtual Private Network helps you get around this problem by changing your IP address, making your laptop, tablet or smartphone appear to be in a different country. That means you can watch your usual streams, even when you’re a long way from home.

FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they rate NordVPN as the best VPN service in the world, which is suddenly available on the cheap this Black Friday.

Sunderland vs Bournemouth: Premier League preview

There wasn't much to choose between Sunderland and Bournemouth in their previous Premier League encounters. Bournemouth won two, Sunderland one. They're yet to beat the Cherries at the Stadium of Light.

In contrast to other recent promoted sides, Sunderland are likely to be viewed as favourites in their home fixtures against the teams around them in the table. Regis Le Bris has achieved something special already this season.

Nevertheless, seventh-placed Sunderland are winless in three matches in the Premier League and Bournemouth, level on points with the Black Cats, are in the same predicament.

Bournemouth will be without injured duo Justin Kluivert and Ben Gannon-Doak. All eyes will be on the availability of Antoine Semenyo, who missed their draw with West Ham United through illness.

Sunderland have only been beaten three times in the Premier League this season and remain undefeated at home, where they've already played Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Bournemouth – also unbeaten at home – have struggled to pick up points away from the Vitality Stadium, winning only once on the road this season. They've conceded at least three goals in each of their last three away games.

Andoni Iraola won't be too alarmed by consecutive losses at Manchester City and Villa but the challenge of taking the Cherries into Europe for the first time in their history is an unforgiving one.

Their only other loss away from home came on the opening night against Liverpool. This one's a yardstick in the making and three points for either side would be a big statement.
