The Black Cats face the current Premier League Champions, as they look to build on their impressive comeback win against Bournemouth last time out.
Sunderland came back from behind to beat Bournemouth at The Stadium of Light thanks to goals from Enzo Le Fee, Bertrand Traore and Brian Brobbey.
Liverpool have really struggled to recreate their form from last season, losing 8 of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
They did earn a vital 3 points at the weekend, as they beat West Ham United away from home 0-2 as they look to finally turn a corner.
Sunderland currently sit 6th in the Premier League, just 2 points away from the top 4 and a win could see them move as high as 3rd, depending on other results.
Liverpool sit 8th in the table, but a win could see them move as high as 4th, depending on other results, also.
The Black Cats have failed to beat tonight’s opponent in their last 10 meetings (4D 6L) with their last victory coming in a 1-0 victory in 2012.
The last time the 2 sides met was back in January 2017, and Jermain Defoe scored 2 penalties as they pegged Liverpool back to a 2-2 draw.
