Sunderland v Liverpool: probable
starters in bold, contenders in light
Sunday 1 January 2017 15.23 GMT
Liverpool have won their past four
matches, the most recent of which was
against Manchester City. Sunderland are
in poor form and lost 4-1 at Burnley
last time out . There should, then, be
only one winner. But with the visitors
having less than 44 hours to prepare
for this game and possibly lacking
Jordan Henderson through injury, the
hosts may sense they can cause an
upset. Sachin Nakrani
