Sunderland return to the Premier League after eight long years with a visit from West Ham United and Graham Potter. It's finally back, and we open it at the SOL.
What can we expect from the Hammers then? And what do they expect from us? It's been 100 months since our last clash, so I roped in James Jones of We Are West Ham Podcast to give us the lowdown on this weekend's opening day opponents.

Sunderland are back in the Premier League this weekend. The Ballard moment, that Watson goal still fresh in the mind, but now it is time for the reality of what we have to come. Can Sunderland return to the top flight, and ensure it is more than just a one season stay?
To preview the season ahead, we have Sophie, Pete, Ian and Dave to run through our predictions for the season, who will shine, and who will bag the goals to keep us in the Premier League come season end. Plus, who will win the league, and our unpopular Premier League opinions.

The return of Premier League football is almost here, but first and foremost the Lads are looking forward to a trip to the Scottish capital to pay homage to a former Sunderland keeper, and Hearts legend, in the shape of Craig Gordon.
We've always enjoyed a jaunt up to Gorgie, but it has been an astonishing 16-years since Sunderland fans were last able to visit Tynecastle, so we invited the EPSN commentator and Scarves Around The Funnel host Mark Donaldson to give us the lowdown on what to expect - and more importantly- which pubs to visit!
