*A cursory glance at the form guide, and this really does look like a home banker. *Sunderland are struggling in the relegation zone, and have lost five of their last seven games, scoring only three times during a miserable run. Liverpool, on the other hand, are making a leftfield title challenge, having won six league games on the spin, scoring 24 goals in the process (while letting in nine, admittedly, but that's part of their charm). It should be a shoo-in. It's surely a shoo-in?
*Ah, but hold those horses!* Sunderland might be 16-1 shots to win tonight at Anfield a ground where they've not tasted victory since October 1983, when Gary Rowell stuck a penalty past Bruce Grobbelaar - but they've caused trouble at Liverpool often enough. Sunderland have visited Anfield 12 times in the Premier League era, and have come away with a point on six occasions. They may have lost heavily here last season, 3-0, but their two previous visits were draws, 1-1 in August 2011, 2-2 in September 2010. Sunderland also have a couple of recent wins under their belts at the Stadium of Light, courtesy of N Bendtner in 2012, and B Ball in 2009. In summary: Liverpool don't always like it when the Black Cats cross their path. The form guide says it should be a shoo-in. But it surely isn't a shoo-in. Reported by guardian.co.uk 2 hours ago.
