da brdice： Liverpool will travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland on Saturday, with both sides desperately seeking their first win of the season.
da realbet： Sunderland have held Arsenal and Swansea in their previous away matches, impressing on both occasions, whilst Liverpool have suffered their worst start to a season in 50 years, collecting just one point from a possible nine.
Brendan Rodgers side lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal last time out, where there lack of threat in front of goal was particularly evident.
Liverpool fans are still wondering how their season will shape up, following the clubs disastrous deadline day business, where they failed to secure a replacement for Andy Carroll, leaving the club with just two senior strikers.
One of which is Fabio Borini, a 21-year-old signed from Roma in the summer, with no previous Premier League experience.
Sunderland has not been a particularly happy ground for Liverpool in recent years, losing twice 1-0 in the past three meetings, one of which was to the famous ‘beach ball’ goal.
Rodgers will be desperate to record his first league victory as Liverpool manager, especially with his side occupying a relegation spot, and the visit of Manchester United on the horizon.
Joe Cole (hamstring) and Lucas (thigh) remain the only names on the injury list.
Sunderland meanwhile are set to welcome back Lee Cattermole, Phil Bardsley, Wes Brown and David Vaughn, as they too search for their first win of the season.
However Adam Johnson is likely to miss out having withdrawn himself from the England squad in midweek with a thigh injury.
Prediction: Sunderland 0-0 Liverpool
