Liverpool finally breathed a sigh of relief after snapping their recent slump, but their job is far from done as they welcome a confident Sunderland side to Anfield.
Both teams head into this clash with renewed belief, making this one of the more intriguing midweek fixtures. Liverpool's 2-0 win over West Ham in the league eased some of the pressure on Arne Slot, while Sunderland arrive buzzing after a dramatic comeback win over Bournemouth.
