Match Facts

  • Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games against Sunderland (W6 D4), since a 1-0 loss in March 2012. Their last meeting was a 2-2 draw in January 2017.

  • Sunderland are winless in their last 18 away league games against Liverpool (D9 L9), with their last victory at Anfield coming in October 1983 (1-0).

  • Sunderland have lost 13 of their 16 Premier League away games against reigning champions (W2 D1), with their two victories coming at Chelsea in 2010-11 (3-0) and Man Utd in 2013-14 (1-0).

  • Liverpool have lost just one of their last 25 midweek Premier League games (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), going down 2-0 at Everton in April 2024 (W19 D5).

  • Sunderland failed to win any of their five midweek games (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) in their last Premier League campaign in 2016-17 (D1 L4), failing to score a single goal in these games.

  • Liverpool have lost two of their last three home Premier League games, as many as in their previous 53 combined (W41 D10). They haven’t lost consecutive home games since a six game losing run between January and March 2021, while in front of supporters that last happened in September 2012.

  • Sunderland’s away Premier League matches this season have seen the fewest goals scored of any side’s games on the road (9 – 3 for, 6 against). It’s the lowest in a side’s first six away games of a season since West Ham in 2022-23 (also 3 for, 6 against).

  • Liverpool have won their last 12 Premier League matches against newly promoted clubs, while at Anfield they’ve won 26 of their last 28 (D1 L1), including the last 12 in a row. The last promoted team to beat them there was Fulham in March 2021.

  • Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals in his last seven Premier League appearances against newly promoted sides. Sunderland are one of four sides he’s faced without scoring against in his Premier League career – his one game against them was for Chelsea in a 2-1 defeat back in April 2014.

  • This will be Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris’ first game against Liverpool. French managers are winless in their last 16 Premier League meetings with the Reds (D8 L8) since Arsène Wenger led Arsenal to a 4-1 win in April 2015.
