Liverpool vs Sunderland Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Reds haven’t lost to the Black Cats in their last 10 meetings!

Liverpool are now gearing up to take on Sunderland for their matchweek 14 of the English Premier League 2025-26 edition. Anfield is all set to witness this intense matchup between these clubs.

The Reds are coming in after securing a positive result against West Ham United in their previous league game. They have not been in their best form this season, but they stepped up to perform and secure three important points.
