Wednesday's English Premier League action concludes with a big game at Stadium of Light, where Liverpool will be hoping to improve after their weekend defeat to Man City. The Reds will be knocking on the door of the Black Cats, who will be hoping that their presence in the North East is unlucky for Arne Slot's men. When Dominik Szoboszlai fired Wednesday's visitors in front with less than 20 minutes of regulation time remaining at the weekend, few people would've predicted that the game would end with Man City winning and Szoboszlai leaving the pitch after picking up a red card, but that's exactly what happened, with the Reds failing to stop two late City attacks before the Hungarian midfielder was dismissed for attempting to bring down Erling Haaland, who was swiftly approaching an open goal.
The visitors have now lost two of their last three league games. As a result, they've dropped out of the top four. Just three points behind Slot's men, who sit in sixth, are the Wednesday's hosts, who may just fancy themselves to heap more pressure on the home manager. The Black Cats don't lose all that often, while they've upset a few so-called big teams this season, so don't be surprised if they make life tough for a visiting team that isn't exactly flying.

Our Sunderland vs Liverpool Prediction
The Reds will be fired up and looking to react after Sunday's disappointment, but they're not exactly visiting a venue that's easily penetrated, let's be honest. The Black Cats are very good at frustrating teams at home, while Regis Le Bris' men will definitely be looking to sit back and keep things tight having lost at Arsenal at the weekend, so it's easy to feel that this could be a less open and less high-scoring game than the early odds suggest.
After all, very few EPL teams have done a better job of keeping the score down at home this season, with the Black Cats often keeping clean sheets. Only two goals were scored when the pair met at Anfield earlier in the season, and a repeat of that low-scoring game looks a little more likely than the current 'Under 2.5 Goals' odds would have us believe. Take the value that a price of +100 offers.
Our Liverpool vs Sunderland Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
