Dortmund tend to have quite an impressive record against English teams. They beat Liverpool in Germany in their Europa League fixture earlier this season, and also beat Manchester United in China in the International Champions Cup.
While Sunderland are the only Premier League club that are yet to sign a player this summer, Dortmund boast of a wide range of fresh legs, starting from the lethal Ousmane Dembele, who scored a stunner against Man United in their 4-1 win.
The German giants have signed a total of 10 players this summer. They include Mikel Merino, Jannik Bandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Marc Bartra, Sebastian Rode, Emre Mor, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Raphael Guerreiro, Mario Gotze and Andre Schurrle. By virtue of being the second-best team in Germany, BVB could cruise to an easy win here.
