Liverpool vs. Sunderland: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live
Liverpool and Sunderland are set to face each other for the first time in nearly nine years when they meet at Anfield in Premier League action on Wednesday evening.
The last encounter between these teams resulted in a thrilling 2–2 stalemate at the Stadium of Light back in January 2017—their final meeting across all competitions—where Jermain Defoe netted a brace to trouble a defensive line featuring Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan and James Milner. Significant changes have occurred since that match.
Liverpool will anticipate securing maximum points when the teams meet in midweek, particularly with the advantage of playing at home, though Sunderland currently sit one point ahead of the Reds in the Premier League standings. A poor run of results has seen Liverpool's championship defense crumble dramatically, having endured three consecutive losses by three-goal margins prior to Sunday's victory against West Ham United.
Sunderland, who have already defeated Chelsea and secured a draw with Arsenal this season, will look to capitalize on Liverpool's defensive weaknesses, though they must remain cautious of the considerable attacking threat the Reds present.
