Updated Saturday, November 22, 2025 (1 week ago)

Match Preview

The Premier League clash on 3 December 2025 pits Liverpool against Sunderland at Anfield, a match that comes at a pivotal stage in the season. Liverpool have struggled at home, recording only two wins from their last five fixtures at Anfield, scoring three goals while conceding nine – an average of 0.6 goals for and 1.8 against. Sunderland, meanwhile, arrive with a more balanced away record: two wins, two draws and a single loss in their last five outings, netting seven and conceding five, equating to 1.4 goals scored and one conceded per game. The historical rivalry is evenly matched, with five head‑to‑head meetings producing two wins for Sunderland, one for Liverpool and two draws, and an aggregate of six goals each. Given Liverpool’s defensive frailties at home and Sunderland’s decent recent form, the fixture promises to be tightly contested, with both sides needing points to solidify their league positions. The numbers suggest a game where the under‑dog could exploit the hosts’ leaky defence, while Liverpool will aim to rediscover the attacking edge that has eluded them in recent weeks.

Recent Form

Liverpool

Liverpool’s recent home form has been erratic over the last five matches. On 22 November they were thrashed 0‑3 by Nottingham, failing to find the net while conceding goals at the 33rd, 46th and 78th minutes. A week earlier, albeit away, they enjoyed a 3‑0 victory over Manchester City with goals from E.Haaland, N.Gonzalez and J.Doku – a rare clean sheet that did not translate to Anfield. They rebounded on 4 November with a narrow 1‑0 win over Real Madrid, thanks to A.Mac Allister in the 61st minute, showing defensive resilience. A solid 2‑0 triumph over Aston Villa on 1 November featured goals from M.Salah and R.Gravenberch before half‑time, reinforcing their attacking potential. However, the 29 October home loss 0‑3 to Crystal Palace, where I.Sarr struck twice and Y.Pino added a late goal, highlighted persistent defensive lapses. Across these five games Liverpool have recorded two wins, three defeats, scored three goals and conceded nine, averaging 0.6 goals for and 1.8 against per match. The pattern reveals a side capable of occasional brilliance but plagued by a porous back line and an inability to convert chances at home.

Sunderland

Sunderland’s away and home performances over their last five matches illustrate a more balanced trajectory. On 22 November they secured a 1‑0 away win at Fulham, with R.Jimenez scoring in the 84th minute, marking their latest clean sheet. Their next outing on 8 November at home against Arsenal ended in a 2‑2 draw; D.Ballard opened the scoring, B.Saka equalised, L.Trossard put Sunderland ahead, and B.Brobbey salvaged a point for Arsenal in stoppage time. A home draw 1‑1 with Everton on 3 November saw I.Ndiaye give Sunderland the lead before G.Xhaka levelled. The 25 October away fixture against Chelsea resulted in a 1‑2 loss despite an early goal by A.Garnacho, with W.Isidor and C.Talbi completing the comeback for the Blues. Sunderland closed the period with a 2‑0 home victory over Wolverhampton on 18 October, courtesy of N.Mukiele and an own‑goal by L.Krejci. Overall, they have amassed two wins, two draws and one defeat, scoring seven goals and conceding five, averaging 1.4 goals for and 1.0 against per game. Their record shows a solid defensive record away from home and a capacity to pick up points against strong opposition.

Head-to-Head Record

The historical ledger between Liverpool and Sunderland spans five Premier League meetings, delivering a tightly contested rivalry. The aggregate record stands at two Sunderland victories, one for Liverpool and two draws, with both clubs netting six goals apiece. The most recent encounter on 2 January 2017 ended 2‑2, featuring a dramatic double‑penalty haul from J.Defoe for Liverpool and goals from D.Sturridge and S.Mane for Sunderland. Earlier, on 26 November 2016, Liverpool secured a 2‑0 home win with strikes from D.Origi and a penalty by J.Milner, indicating periods of Liverpool dominance. The 6 February 2016 clash also finished 2‑2, with contributions from R.Firmino, A.Lallana, A.Johnson and a late equaliser by J.Defoe, underscoring the teams’ propensity for high‑scoring draws. Sunderland’s lone victories came in December 2015 and January 2015, both 1‑0 wins at Liverpool, courtesy of C.Benteke and L.Markovic respectively. The pattern reveals Sunderland’s knack for securing narrow away wins, while Liverpool has struggled to dominate outright, often settling for draws or narrow defeats. Goal‑scoring has been fairly even, but the recent draws and low‑scoring outcomes suggest a tactical stalemate that could re‑emerge in the upcoming fixture, especially given Liverpool’s current defensive frailties at home.

Statistical Insights

Analyzing the numbers, Liverpool’s home defence has been the Achilles’ heel, conceding nine goals in five matches – a 1.8‑goal average per game – while only scoring three. Their goal‑timing data shows a lack of early breakthroughs, with the sole goal arriving in the 61st minute against Real Madrid. Conversely, Sunderland’s defensive record is sturdier, allowing just one goal per match across the same span and scoring 1.4 per game. Their goals have been spread across the first half (minutes 15, 16, 36, 45) and second half (minutes 54, 74, 84, 90), indicating an ability to find the net at varied intervals. Liverpool’s recent heavy defeats (0‑3 twice) highlight susceptibility to quick conceding bursts, whereas Sunderland’s lone loss was a 1‑2 setback where they fell behind early but kept the contest close. The head‑to‑head data shows six goals each over five meetings, reinforcing the notion of evenly matched attacking output. Given these trends, the match is likely to be low‑scoring, with the under‑0.5‑5 goal line in question, and both sides have a realistic chance of scoring, making both BTTS and a narrow margin plausible outcomes.

Upcoming Fixtures

After the 3 December showdown, Liverpool’s calendar lists a Premier League clash with West Ham on 30 November – already passed – and an upcoming European commitment against Eindhoven in the Champions League on 26 November, which precedes the Sunderland game. Consequently, the Anfield encounter will be Liverpool’s final domestic fixture before shifting focus to continental competition, adding extra motivation to secure a positive result. Sunderland, on the other hand, have a tight schedule: they host Bournemouth on 29 November, then travel to Liverpool for the Anfield match, and subsequently face Manchester City away on 6 December. The proximity of the Manchester City test amplifies the importance of the Liverpool game, as a win could boost confidence ahead of a daunting opponent, while a loss may expose lingering defensive issues that the City fixture will exploit.

Match Prediction

Considering Liverpool’s precarious home form – two wins, three defeats and an average of just 0.6 goals per game – against Sunderland’s more balanced recent performances and tighter defence, the scales tip slightly towards a low‑scoring draw or a narrow Sunderland victory. Sunderland’s ability to keep clean sheets away (average one goal conceded) combined with their 1.4‑goal scoring average suggests they could snatch a goal either early or late. Liverpool’s recent inability to score at Anfield further supports this view. The most plausible outcome is a 1‑1 draw, with Sunderland likely to net first, perhaps through a set‑piece, and Liverpool equalising late as they push for a win.

Betting Insights

The data points to a tightly contested affair, making the under‑2.5‑goals market attractive – both sides have struggled to find the net consistently, with Liverpool averaging 0.6 and Sunderland 1.4 goals per match. BTTS (both teams to score) carries solid value given Sunderland’s recent scoring record and Liverpool’s occasional breakthrough against strong opposition; a BTTS bet at moderate odds is justified. Considering Sunderland’s defensive resilience away (1.0 goals conceded per game) and Liverpool’s leaky home defence (1.8 conceded), a draw‑no‑bet on Sunderland offers a safety net. The most compelling bet is a 1‑1 exact score, reflecting the likely low‑scoring nature and balanced strengths. Over 3.5 goals is unlikely, while a double‑chance for Sunderland or a draw (Sunderland or draw) captures the expected narrow margin.
