The Black Cats fired manager Paolo Di Canio last manager, Sunderland will be hoping that caretaker manager Kevin Ball can help move Sunderland off the bottom of the table.
But The Black Cats have been dealt a massive blow as striker Stephen Fletcher has been ruled out for six weeks with a shoulder injury that was picked up in the loss to West Brom last weekend.
However, the club will be set to welcome back several of their first team members from the injury bench including captain John O’Shea who was taken off injured during the 2-0 victory against Peterborough in the Capital One Cup during the week.
Alongside that, both Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley will feature in the game after being cast aside by Di Canio during his tenure at the club.
It’s been a difficult week for Brendan Rogers and Liverpool having seen their unbeaten record disappear in the Premier League and having been eliminated from the League Cup by arch rivals Manchester United.
Keen to get their season back on track as quick as possible, Brendan Rogers will be relieved to have at least one of his regular defenders back in the squad as Daniel Agger returns from a side strain that ruled him out of the clash with Manchester United on Wednesday evening.
But this is the only good injury news that Rogers has been met with considering that several other key members of his squad are still some way from full fitness.
This includes right back Glen Johnson who is nursing an ankle problem whilst Brazilian winger Coutinho is another major absentee with a shoulder problem.
The Reds will turn to some of their more in-form counterparts such as Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge to help them get back on their feet this weekend.
Although both teams have endured a disruptive 7 days, the chaos that seems to be surrounding The Stadium of Light will mean that Liverpool stand a good chance of turning the ship around before they suffer any serious damage to their season.
