Team preview
Sunderland vs Liverpool: team preview
How each side is likely to approach the game. Confirmed line-ups are released about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Sunderland
Stadium of Light, Sunderland
Sunderland are a mid-table side who are hard to beat at home but can struggle to create against organised defences, which keeps their games tighter.
Away
Liverpool
Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool are among the title contenders. Expect them to control possession away at Stadium of Light and push Sunderland back, so their chance count, and the corners market, tends to run high.

Total goals
Over 2.5 at 57%, under 3.5 at 65%, from expected goals of 1.17 and 1.81.
Draw no bet
Liverpool at 68% on the two-way split; your stake comes back if it ends level.

Betting notes
How to bet on Sunderland vs Liverpool
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
With the draw only 23%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Liverpool on the Liverpool -0.5 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
- 02
Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Sunderland vs Liverpool and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
- 03
The model leans towards goals: over 2.5 at 57% and both teams to score at 58%. Goals markets look sharper than the result here.
- 04
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
