Preview - Sunderland vs Liverpool


Match of the Day I guess..Make no mistake Sunderland are no weak team..Surely not at their own Stadium Of Lights..and Iam sure Rafa knows this..Keane has made some astute summer signings in the shape of ex-Tottenham trio Teemu Tainio, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque, while El Hadji Diouf is a player who could perhaps rival his manager in desire to put one over Liverpool following a disappointing spell at Anfield..
Liverpool..Ah the team which always amazes me..18 years it has been since they last won the league...and not once did they seem incapable..They have been excellent in continental competitions..The Champions League always shows us Liverpool's class but the Premier League also shows us their lack of consistency..Liverpool were surprisingly lacklusture in their performance against Standard Leige in midweek..They surely need to improve on that or an upset is surely on the cards..Liverpool will have their captain Steven Gerrard back for this match, Keane is set to make a debut..can this be Liverpool's year..well they have all the quality..but thats the case every year isn't it..
Predicted Teams (again SKY SPORTS) -

Sunderland: Gordon, Bardsley, Chimbonda, Higginbotham, Collins, Malbranque, Tainio, Whitehead, Richardson, Diouf, Stokes

Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Dossena, Kuyt, Gerrard, Alonso, Benayoun, Keane, Torres
