Sunderland 0-1 Liverpool (Full time)
We will bring you all the goals and highlights from the game as and when it happens. Stay tuned for live score updates.
Liverpool travel to the Stadium of light this afternoon where they will take on Gus Poyet’s Sunderland.
The Reds are looking to steady the ship after a dismal start to the campaign. The Reds have not lost any of their last four Premier League games and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games in a row.
Brendan Rodgers has hinted that Raheem Sterling will not be back into the starting XI yet, as the young winger has been given some time off to freshen himself up for the remainder of the season.
Meanwhile, 14th placed Sunderland will be looking to get something out of the game after a 3-1 defeat to Hull, in their last home game. Gus Poyet’s side have won only one of their last five league games and will be looking to take advantage of Liverpool’s inconsistencies.
