Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview – Premier League 2025/26
Anfield ignites for a Merseyside-Northeast grudge match as Liverpool host Sunderland in a Premier League fixture on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025 at 21:15 WAT / 20:15 GMT.
The Reds, reeling from a 1-4 UCL humiliation at PSV Eindhoven and a 0-3 home loss to Nottingham Forest, sit 8th on 21 points—desperate for redemption amid a three-game skid. Sunderland, thriving in 6th with 22 points after a stunning 3-2 home win over Bournemouth (ending a two-game winless streak), eye a top-four push with unbeaten away form in four (2W-2D). The hosts’ fortress (4W-1D in 6) meets the Black Cats’ bite, but H2H favors stalemates: 2 straight draws (0-0). Injuries: Liverpool sans Alisson, Alexander-Arnold; Sunderland miss Clarke.
