Sunderland form (last 5): 2W-0D-3L. Liverpool form (last 5): 3W-0D-2L.

Liverpool faces a 'selection nightmare' in defense. The absence of Jeremie Frimpong (Muscle) and Conor Bradley (Knee) removes all natural right-backs. Dominik Szoboszlai's suspension (red card vs City) further depletes the midfield engine. While Joe Gomez is a doubt, Arne Slot is expected to deploy a makeshift backline including Curtis Jones at RB, which significantly compromises Liverpool's ability to defend wide transitions. Sunderland remains largely at full strength, relying on the veteran leadership of Granit Xhaka and the aerial dominance of Dan Ballard.

Sunderland score at home 1.8 goals on average and concede 0.8 (12 matches). Liverpool score away 1.6 goals on average and concede 1.8 (12 matches).
