Sunderland vs Liverpool Form
The Black Cats head into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-0 away defeat to Arsenal in their last Premier League outing on February 7. This result marked a dip in form for the hosts, who have registered two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches across all competitions. Notably, Sunderland have seen over 2.5 goals scored in their last five Premier League games, indicating an open style of play, but their overall form places them 14th in the league's form table over the last six matches. However, their home form is much stronger, ranking 3rd in the league for points collected in their last six home games, with two wins and two draws in their most recent four home fixtures.
Meanwhile, Liverpool endured a 2-1 away loss to Manchester City on February 8 in their latest Premier League fixture. The Reds' recent run of results paints a concerning picture, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six games across all competitions. Their recent league form sees them ranked 15th over the last six matches. Interestingly, there have also been over 2.5 goals scored in Liverpool's last three Premier League games, suggesting both teams could contribute to a high-scoring affair.

Sunderland vs Liverpool Team News
Sunderland face a few injury concerns ahead of this crucial match. Granit Xhaka and D. J. T. Bi are both sidelined with injuries, with Xhaka not expected back until later this month. Bertrand Traoré is listed as doubtful due to a knee problem, which could impact the hosts' attacking options. Manager Arne Slot will likely field a strong side despite these absences, with few changes anticipated following their defeat to Arsenal.
Liverpool's injury list is significantly longer, impacting their squad depth. Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, Joseph Gomez, Alexander Isak, and Gabriel Leoni are all unavailable due to various injuries. Adding to their woes, Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended after receiving a red card in the recent match against Manchester City. With no fit right-backs, Curtis Jones may be forced to deputise in an unfamiliar role.

Prediction: Sunderland 2-2 Liverpool
Sunderland will be looking for another huge home performance, having established themselves as the only unbeaten team in the Premier League in front of their own fans this season. The newly-promoted Black Cats have already secured impressive results at the Stadium of Light, including victories over Newcastle and draws against the likes of Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Manchester City, suggesting they thrive in big home games. Their ability to come back from losing positions is a notable strength, and they are adept at aerial duels. Liverpool's recent late collapse against Manchester City leaves Arne Slot's side in serious danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League, having slipped four points behind fifth place. The visitors possess strengths in counter-attacks, attacking down the wings, and creating chances through individual skill, but they have shown weaknesses in defending counter-attacks and protecting a lead. Forecasts suggest Liverpool will control possession and attack down the wings, but Sunderland's resilience at home, combined with Liverpool's current struggles and extensive injury list, points towards a hard-fought contest. Given Sunderland's formidable home record and Liverpool's recent defensive frailties, a draw with goals for both sides seems a plausible outcome.
