Whether Liverpool's West Ham United triumph was a false dawn or a sign of better things to come will become clearer in Wednesday's Premier League home clash against high-flying Sunderland.
While the Reds strolled to a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium over the weekend, the Black Cats had to erase a 2-0 deficit in a chaotic 3-2 win over Bournemouth at the Stadium of Light.
Head-to-head:
- Liverpool have won 18 of the 32 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
- Sunderland recorded just three victories.
- The remaining 11 clashes ended in draws.
- Liverpool have kept two clean sheets in their last five games.
- Sunderland have not secured a clean sheet in their last five matches.
- The Black Cats have failed to secure a win against the Reds in their last 10 meetings.
- Seven of their last 10 encounters produced at least two goals.

Team News:

- Sunderland will miss out on the services of Habib Diarra, Leo Hjelde and Ajibola Alese as they are injured.
Player(s) to watch:
- Alexander Isak finally scored a goal for Liverpool in the Premier League after a lot of criticism. He opened the scoring against the Hammers and will now be looking to extend his goal-scoring run. Isak has not been in his best form in the ongoing campaign, but he is going to be a constant threat to the opponents.
- Bertrand Traoré was one of the goal scorers for Sunderland in their previous league win against Bournemouth. He delivered a good performance and will be looking to come up with a top effort. The upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy one for the visitors, but a top performance from Traore can be a big advantage for them.
