Recent Form & Match Build-Up
Liverpool
The defending Premier League champions, Liverpool, finally ended their three-match losing streak with a 2-0 victory over West Ham United. Despite the absence of their star striker, Mohamed Salah, the Reds secured three crucial points, thanks to goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.
However, the Reds are still going through a challenging phase this season. Their inconsistency has cost them valuable points, and they currently sit outside the Premier League’s top-six positions, which is unusual compared to other leading teams in the league.
Salah was benched in a Premier League game for the first time since April 2024, as he prepares to join Egypt for AFCON duty. Speaking about the decision, manager Arne Slot said: “Four games in 10 days with only 14 to 15 outfield players available for us…You make decisions.”
He further added, “Mo Salah has been so important for this club and will be important for this club in the future. No doubts.”
In the league standings, Liverpool sits 8th with 21 points, having recorded 7 wins and 6 losses. When looking at recent form across all competitions, Liverpool has won two and lost three of their last five matches.
Sunderland
One of the most improved sides this season, Sunderland, will head into this match with confidence after a thrilling 3-2 victory over AFC Bournemouth in their last league fixture, with goals scored by Le Fée, Traoré, and Brobbey.
The Black Cats currently sit sixth in the league table, with six wins, four draws, and three losses, collecting a total of 22 points. Impressively, they are ranked above both Liverpool and Manchester United.
The Roker Men have shown great determination this season, having recently defeated Chelsea 2-1 and earned a 2-2 draw against Arsenal, demonstrating their strong form and growing confidence. In their last five matches, they have won two, drawn two, and lost one.
