Sunderland welcome Liverpool at Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Wednesday, Jan 6 at 9:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Sunderland come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Liverpool, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Sunderland face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Liverpool have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Liverpool won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sunderland a slight edge, but Liverpool are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
