Sunderland vs Liverpool preview
The second week of February and just three spots and three points separate Sunderland and Liverpool.
Who would’ve thought that before a ball was kicked this season!?
A mixture of the Black Cats punching above their weight and Arne Slot’s side toiling means that if the hosts win by 2+ goals on Wednesday, they’ll jump above Liverpool!
Six wins and five draws from their last 11 games in all competitions at home represents a solid run of form in the North East for Sunderland, who must be eyeing a European finish.
They earned a draw at Anfield earlier in the season, too.
For the Reds, they’re in real danger of missing out on Champions League football after Sunday’s defeat to Manchester City.
City fought back superbly late on to win 2-1, with common sense preventing a 3-1 score line.
Dominik Szoboszlai probably wishes he’d kept his mouth shut in shouting for a foul on him by Erling Haaland from that Rayan Cherki shot, as he misses out in this one having been sent off.
Their seven-game unbeaten run away from home came to an end at Bournemouth in their last away day and this looks a difficult one to get back to winning ways.

Liverpool at odds-on!? Really??
That’s the type of odds I’d have expected if this was game on of the season given where both clubs are. Not now though.
Sunderland are good value at home and Liverpool are without Szoboszlai who has quite comfortably been their best player this season. Draw earlier in season on Merseyside and similar expected.
