Liverpool vs. Sunderland Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Liverpool vs. Sunderland at English Premier League

When: Wednesday, December 3, 9:15 pm CET
Where: Anfield Road, Liverpool, England

No need to explain how big a game this is for Liverpool. They are a sinking ship that needs to be repaired right away, otherwise, their catastrophe this year will be greater than the Titanic’s. Sunderland opened its EPL quest solidly, but recently, their form has been on the decline. The international break didn’t bring them any improvements, and the Black Cats now have to pull themselves together.

Liverpool vs. Sunderland Preview

Liverpool

Liverpool is in a mess, and what Arne Slot did to them with transfers and poor judgment this summer will be in various books. Dismantling the chemistry of the possible best team in Europe in such a short period of time is incredible.

After beating Real Madrid and Aston Villa, the fans believe that the crisis is behind this unit. Yet that turned out to be just a temporary relief, as the team lost the next three games, all while allowing at least three goals. Two of them were at Anfield: 0-3 against Forest, one of the greatest humiliations in the last 10 years at home, and 1-4 vs. PSV in the Champions League.

Everything is bad in Liverpool’s game, but the worst part is the defense. It looks pale, without any cohesion, and what’s worse, without desire to battle.

Sunderland

The Black Cats haven’t won in three straight coming into the previous weekend. After back-to-back draws against Everton and Arsenal at home, Sunderland went to Craven Cottage, where they lost to Fulham, 1-0. Overall, the newcomers to the EPL have just three defeats in the opening 12 games, but their decline is pretty evident.

Sunderland’s games don’t bring too many goals, just above two. In the previous 10 events played, only three had seen over 2.5 goals. That explains a lot about Le Bris’ unit and its playstyle.

The Black Cats have a poor road record this year, with two wins, three defeats, and one tie. Overall, they’ve scored 3 goals and conceded 6.

Liverpool vs. Sunderland Predictions

Anything else but Liverpool’s win here would be a complete disaster for the home crew. And that would be the end for Slot, who is already on the brink of being fired, if that already hadn’t been done in the meantime. Sunderland’s form is shaky as well, and if the Reds don’t win now, they won’t do it anytime soon.

Our verdict: Liverpool
