Aston Villa - Brighton Hove Albion

This season in Sunderland, there have been no wins, but draws at home. I think that is a strong argument for why they will beat another big Premier League team today, especially since Liverpool hasn't found stability all season and their away games have been lacking. They only managed to score 2+ goals against West Ham, who have been struggling at the bottom. Sunderland have also gained 4 valuable points against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa this season at home. They have only conceded 9 goals on their own turf. Everyone is expecting this team to fall, but at this stage of the season, it's not worth speculating about. Liverpool will also be playing without their brilliant player, so I believe Sunderland will at least get a draw, but a win is also possible since Pulis will be arriving after a tough emotional blow from their match against Manchester City.

Liverpool unfortunately lost their key player in the past match with a red card and today's game at the stadium of light will not be easy. Sunderland is the only team in the Premier League that has not lost a single home match this season, with 7 wins and 5 draws. Liverpool's away results at Anfield have not been impressive, with losses and negative goal difference. Although Sunderland's form has dropped recently, they are still a very strong team at home.
