Sunderland vs Liverpool: Line-ups confirmed for Premier League clash

Unbeaten at home Sunderland welcome Liverpool to the Stadium of Light in tonight’s later kick-off in the Premier League.

The Black Cats have been formidable on Wearside this season, while Liverpool’s travels have not been pretty either.

And after a damaging defeat to Manchester City last time out, the Reds will be desperate to bounce back and keep their Champions League hopes alive.

However, Sunderland will have other ideas, and are keen to maintain a strong return to the top flight, with another big win.
