You have to pinch yourself to believe it, but it’s the reality of the moment: Sunderland
heads into a match against Liverpool in December higher ranked than the reigning champions. A scenario that would have been difficult to imagine just a few months ago, when the Reds naturally emerged as the favorite in the title race. Water has flowed under the bridges, and this season has taken a bad turn on the banks of the Mersey. Weighed down by the poor form of its historic executives Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, the LFC has gradually slipped towards the soft underbelly of the ranking, and it is not the victory at West Ham (2-0) which will reassure the troops after a series of large defeats.
Eighth, Liverpool will have a lot to do against a Sunderland team which is emerging as one of the sensations of this first part of the season. The Black Cats are comfortably settled in sixth place, and could still achieve a good performance in the event of a victory at Anfield. A success which bears the signature of Régis Le Bris, the great architect of this success after taking the club from the north-west of England to the Championship.
The expected compositions
Liverpool : future.
Sunderland: future.
