Sunderland stand in the relegation zone and they are one of the main candidates to move in Championship. There are many matches left until the end of the season, but home side have to improve their performance in order to stay in Premier League. They are in a very poor form with 4 lost matches in a row. In the previous round Manchester City smashed them 4-1. Their manager Sam Allardyce said that his team have a chance against Klopp’s side. “From our point of view Liverpool can be beaten if you get the game plan right and frustrate them.” – he added. The main problem of home side is their defence. They have the worst defence in league and only in the last 4 matches they conceded 11 goals. True, they have played against very strong teams such as Arsenal, Watford, Chelsea and Manchester City, so we will see how they play against Reds.
Liverpool have managed to beat Leicester 1-0 in the previous round and won after 4 matches without win in all competitions. They are standing at the 10th position and their main goal is to finish at the top 4. The difference between them and Manchester City (4th position) is only 8 points and that is reachable for the team from Anfield. They showed very quality football against Leicester City last week and if they repeat their performance it would be hard for Sunderland to avoid defeat. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 6 matches against Sunderland in all competitions and they hope that can take all three points which can move them up to 6th position.
