Overview
Sunderland suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Burnley in their last fixture, which came just days after their 3-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Their recent run of disappointing performance has continued, which has seen them struggle in the bottom half of the table.
David Moyes will be hoping his side can change things in 2017 and start the New Year on a high with a victory over high flying Liverpool. In the last five Premier League matches at home, Sunderland have won three out of them, while suffered defeats in the other two.
Liverpool enter this fixture after a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on New Year's Eve. Georginio Wijnaldum';s first half header was the difference between the two sides as the Reds sealed three crucial points against their title rivals.
Jurgen Klopp wants to make sure his side continue their impressive run in 2016 to the new calendar year. That can be achieved by a victory over Sunderland on Monday, but the fixture will be played just two days after their last tie.
