Liverpool vs. Sunderland: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match

Wednesday night football returns to the Premier League with a fight card of six bouts, headlined by Liverpool vs. Sunderland.

Regis Le Bris's newly promoted side turn up to Anfield in a higher league position than the Premier League giants, who currently sit in eighth place with six losses - two more than they managed for the entirety of last season.

The Black Cats have surprised everyone with their remarkable campaign, picking up an impressive victory at Stamford Bridge and being the only team to score two or more goals against Arsenal in the entire season.

Feelings about Liverpool's season are much the opposite.

After spending record amounts in the summer, Arne Slot has failed to build upon his title-winning team and pressure has built, as his team have lost nine out of their last 13 games in all competitions.

The weekend saw two promising results for both sides, with Sunderland coming back from two goals down to defeat AFC Bournemouth 3-2, and Liverpool put an end to their misery with a comfortable 2-0 victory away to West Ham in a game where Florian Wirtz impressed.

A fixture which is remembered for Darren Bent's infamous 'beach ball goal' in 2012 has not been played in eight years, further adding to the excitement ahead of Wednesday night's main event.

Liverpool vs. Sunderland : What the managers are saying

Arne Slot

(via Liverpool)

"Recently I've been asked a lot about individuals when they've played maybe not a game of their usual standards and I've pointed out the team every single time. Now after a very positive performance from Florian, I can acknowledge that, but I also want to emphasise on the performance that was much better than some others."

“We go step by step. We don’t have to look too far ahead. We want to prepare properly for this game. Do your best now, and we’ll see later what will happen."

Liverpool vs. Sunderland  prediction

After an incredible season so far, Sunderland will head into this one with as much confidence as they could hope for.

Similarly to Forest when they came away from Anfield 3-0 victors, Sunderland will play with a deep defensive line and speed on the break.

Whilst stylistically this is a worrying match up for Liverpool, the tactical changes Arne Slot made to his line-up against West Ham looked promising and got the best out of Florian Wirtz. This combined with home advantage makes me favour the reds.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Sunderland
