Liverpool and Sunderland face off this Wednesday in the 14th round of the English Championship. The match is scheduled for 5:15 PM (Brasília time) at Anfield.
The current English champion, Liverpool is experiencing a season of fluctuation and arrives at the 14th round under pressure due to below-expected performance. Arne Slot's team is only in eighth place, with 21 points, having won only four of their last 13 matches. The 2-0 victory over West Ham in the most recent game brought some relief but did not dispel the sense of instability.
For this match, Slot must deal with significant absences. Giovanni Leoni (cruciate ligament), Conor Bradley (undisclosed injury), and Jeremie Frimpong (tendon) remain out. Additionally, Mohamed Salah is still doubtful.
On the other hand, Sunderland arrives at Anfield in the opposite scenario and with high morale. Newly promoted to the Premier League, the team is in sixth place, with 22 points and is buoyed by a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.
The team also arrives almost complete. Aji Alese (shoulder) and Habib Diarra (groin) are the only confirmed absences.
Liverpool: 21 points in 13 games – 8th place. Sunderland: 22 points in 13 games – 6th place.
