Match Prediction: Liverpool vs. Sunderland
Arne Slot's side achieved a rare victory in the last round. However, their opponent was relegation-battling West Ham. Moreover, the second goal against the Londoners came shortly before the final whistle. Despite having a formidable attack on paper, Liverpool has not been very prolific this season. In the 2025/26 Premier League, the team has scored more than two goals only twice, often thanks to generous added time.
Sunderland ranks in the top six in the league for defensive reliability. The team has conceded just 13 goals, and no team has scored more than two goals against Regis Le Bris's side. This is despite having already faced two of the three most prolific opponents in the current championship.
Furthermore, Liverpool last scored at least three goals against Sunderland in 2013. This is another factor supporting the prediction of Liverpool individual total under 2.5.
