Xhaka helped Sunderland show impressive form in the Premier League this season. |
After 9 rounds, Sunderland is ranked 4th in the rankings, only 5 points behind the leading team Arsenal. With 17 points, the "Black Cats" even had a better start to the season than Man City, MU (both 16 points) and Liverpool (15 points). This is an unbelievable achievement for a rookie team, who bought 15 new players this summer.
According to statistics from Opta, Sunderland currently has a 7% chance of qualifying for the Champions League, which is not a high number. But most importantly, they only have a 6% chance of being relegated. These numbers show that the team from the Northeast of England is in a relatively solid position in the top flight of the foggy country.
Sunderland are almost safe from relegation, as no Premier League team has ever been relegated after winning 17 points or more after the first nine rounds.
In addition, Sunderland is also the rookie with the best score in the Premier League after 9 rounds, since the 2009/10 season.

Sunderland have been the big surprise of the Premier League this season. |
With their current form, Sunderland have shown that they are not only capable of staying in the league but also have the potential to cause even bigger surprises this season. Obviously, while the numbers are encouraging, Sunderland’s journey ahead is still full of challenges.
Whether this team can maintain stability to go further, even towards a European Cup spot, is still a question waiting to be answered from the upcoming matches.
However, Sunderland are making everyone reconsider their competitiveness, which shows that the team is not only escaping the danger zone but is also building a solid foundation to aim for higher goals.
