Liverpool – Sunderland

Fans will see at least three goals in the match in Liverpool.

Liverpool has been experiencing a difficult period for the last couple of months. During the off-season, the team underwent a significant roster update. The plan was to not only maintain the high standards set after a triumphant last season but also to create a foundation for the future - to form the backbone of a championship team for the next three years. However, in doing so, the management of the Merseyside club and Arne Slot have put themselves in a trap. The new players did not immediately perform at the expected level, while the 'old' ones ceased to be as effective as they were last season. As a result, Liverpool started to lose match after match, and in the most shocking way. The opponents haven't changed; they are still seriously preparing for Slot's team. Sunderland is on the opposite side of the emotional and news spectrum. The 'Black Cats' were in the Championship last year and weren't even aiming for a top 3 finish. However, this team managed to break into the playoffs and beat Sheffield United in the final. Now Sunderland is making history in the Premier League, presenting itself as both lively and disciplined. Bookmakers have established the home team as the favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.35 on their victory. In the last round, Liverpool managed to beat West Ham, scoring two unanswered goals in the second half. It's hard to believe, but before this tough victory, the 'Reds' had lost three matches in a row by a three-goal margin, two of which were at Anfield. On the other hand, any victory after such a series can bring relief to the team and serve as a momentum for a positive streak. Sunderland is currently one point ahead of Liverpool in the league table. The 'Black Cats' have repeatedly shown this season that they fear no one, and the examples of PSV and Nottingham Forest in their matches against Liverpool will allow them to formulate the right strategy on Wednesday. There will certainly be place for attack in it. Sunderland has scored two goals against Arsenal and Chelsea this season, which suggests they may find the net in the upcoming match. Liverpool, of course, will spend the entire match on the attack. Such initial data hints at a high probability of at least three goals being scored.
