Liverpool made a return to winning ways at the weekend, beating West Ham 2-0 at the London Stadium. The Reds have now won three of their last six matches across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in each of those victories. However, Arne Slot's side haven't scored more than two goals in any of their last six matches, and that also applies to their last seven games against Sunderland.
The Merseysiders are unbeaten against the Black Cats in each of the pair's last 10 head-to-heads, securing six wins and four draws. Liverpool have scored exactly two goals in each of their last three games against Sunderland, and have kept clean sheets in each of their last three wins against the Black Cats.
Sunderland have been fantastic so far this season, defying the odds with six wins from their opening 13 matches in the Premier League. However, when Sunderland have lost, which is three times, each has arrived on the road, and the Black Cats have failed to score on each occasion.
With that in mind, we're backing Liverpool to edge out their guests courtesy of a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night.
Liverpool 2-0 Sunderland
