Sunderland vs Liverpool Head to Head: Will Regis Le Bris' Men Hurt Liverpool European Aspirations This Season?

The Stadium of Light will be the venue when Sunderland defend home turf against Liverpool in the gameweek 26 clash, where both teams will be desperate for a win. The Black Cats have fallen off since their blistering start to the league campaign, winning twice in their last 5 games. Defending champions Liverpool have had a terrible run of form in the league, with one win in five games.

Sunderland have punched above their weight this term and sit comfortably in mid-table, and will try to make the most of their home advantage. The Reds are coming off a demoralizing 1-2 loss at home against Manchester City despite taking a lead early through a marvelous Dominik Szoboszlai.

The Sunderland vs Liverpool head to head record is a clear indication of the threat posed by the visiting team, who holds the edge with more wins than the hosts. The fixture has seen goals flowing in both nets, promising an exciting game. The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in February at Anfield, but Regis Le Bris will be keen to break the shackles and register an important win on Thursday.

Arne Slot's men remain in the thick of the UEFA Champions League qualification despite their recent problems on and off the field, and they'll be desperate to rebuild some form with a victory over the Black Cats. With promises of delivering an end-to-end game with two teams who refuse to sit back, it will be a fantastic watch for the neutrals.
