Liverpool will no doubt be diappointed at not beating Southampton last week and will be looking to get back to winning ways against a resurgent Sunderland.
It is unfortunate for Sundrland that they are facing Liverpool now and they have finally started winning and the last thing they will have wanted is to see that run come to an end now that it has just started.
Prediction – Liverpool win
