Xhaka has helped Sunderland show impressive form in the Premier League this season. |
After 9 rounds, Sunderland are 4th in the table, just 5 points behind leaders Arsenal. With 17 points, the "Black Cats" have even had a better start to the season than Man City, MU (both with 16 points) and Liverpool (15 points). This is an incredible achievement for a newly promoted team that has bought 15 new players this summer.
According to Opta statistics, Sunderland currently has a 7% chance of qualifying for the Champions League, which isn't a high number. But most importantly, they only have a 6% chance of being relegated. These figures show that the North East team is in a relatively strong position in England's top league.
Sunderland are virtually safe from relegation, as no team in the Premier League has ever been relegated after accumulating 17 points or more after the first nine rounds of matches.
Furthermore, Sunderland is also the newly promoted team with the best points total in the Premier League after 9 rounds, since the 2009/10 season.

Sunderland have been a major surprise in the Premier League this season. |
With their current form, Sunderland have shown they not only have the strength to avoid relegation but also the potential to create even bigger surprises this season. Obviously, despite the optimistic statistics, Sunderland still face many challenges ahead.
Whether this team can maintain its consistency to progress further, even aiming for a European cup spot, remains to be seen in the upcoming matches.
Nevertheless, Sunderland is making everyone reconsider their competitiveness. This shows that the team has not only escaped the relegation zone but is also building a solid foundation to aim for higher goals.
