Sunderland vs Liverpool: Premier League preview

The Stadium of Light has been some stronghold for Regis Le Bris and Sunderland this season. They sit fourth in the home-only table – as a promoted side, that's a great way to consolidate.

Even more impressive is that they're the only team in England's top three divisions without a home loss. Only Bromley can match them anywhere in the Premier League or EFL.

Chemsdine Talbi's goal earned them a 1-1 draw at Anfield in December but Sunderland's historic record against Liverpool makes for worrying reading.

The Black Cats' last win over Liverpool was in March 2012 when former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner scored the only goal of the game for Martin O'Neill's team.

Liverpool will be without suspended midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, whose comedic red card against Man City on Sunday will live long in the memory.

The Hungary captain scored an outstanding free kick before his attempt to haul down Erling Haaland earned him a red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Arne Slot's Reds drew their first four Premier League fixtures of the calendar year after ending 2025 on a winning run. With one win – albeit a thumping 4-1 win over Newcastle United – and two losses in their last three, they've kept up the same run rate in terms of points.

Seven from seven is not the sort of pace that will take Liverpool back into the Champions League but three here would make Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa start paying attention.
