Liverpool vs Sunderland Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot enjoyed rare respite on Sunday, as his Liverpool team ended a losing sequence with a professional 2-0 win on the road against West Ham.
It was one of the reigning champions’ best performances in recent weeks, as they controlled the ball and were clinical in the final third when creating openings.
Notably, Slot made the brave decision to leave out the underperforming Salah, with Gakpo deployed in his position. Wirtz was also recalled and produced his best league appearance to date. A bright moment also came after record-signing Isak opened his league account for the Reds.
Bradley (Muscle), Frimpong (Hamstring), and Leoni (Knee) all remain out injured.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Sunderland (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Gomez, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Isak.
Sunderland Team News
Regis Le Bris has masterminded a near-perfect start to the season for Sunderland, which, incredibly, means that they travel to Anfield sitting above the reigning champions in the league standings.
They’ve won six of their 13 fixtures in 2025-26, and they showed their remarkable character by coming back from two goals down to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

However, Le Bris is likely to alter the team’s shape this weekend, with the 5-4-1 formation already working to great effect in matches against Chelsea and Arsenal. Xhaka and Sadiki will control the middle of the field, while Sunderland’s deep defensive shape will transition into dynamic counterattacks quickly when they win the ball back.
Brobbey could be handed a start after scoring in the win over Bournemouth. However, Diarra (Groin) is out injured.
Sunderland predicted lineup vs Liverpool (5-4-1): Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Mandava; Traore, Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee; Brobbey.
Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction
- Pick: Sunderland (+1.5)
- Odds: -122 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland
Liverpool showed glimpses of being back to their very best against West Ham on Sunday. However, they’ll need to put together a long run of wins to be trusted as a short odds-on favorite for bettors.
Sunderland’s counterattacking style of play has already proven troublesome for some of the biggest teams in the Premier League, as they beat Chelsea away from home and took a point against Arsenal.
Liverpool’s weakness in defending counterattacks will give the visitors a chance, and the best selection is siding with the Black Cats on the spread.
Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Goal Number 1 – Header
- Odds: +430 (20Bet)
A fascinating betting angle to consider is backing the first goal in the game to be a header. Liverpool have already conceded 20 headers in the EPL this season, tied for the seventh-most in the league.
Sunderland have been regular scorers from set pieces this season, with five of their 15 non-penalty goals coming from either free kicks or corners. Therefore, at the odds of +430, it could be an appealing angle for Wednesday’s clash.
