Liverpool and Sunderland will lock horns for the first time in almost nine years when they battle at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
The two sides played out an enthralling 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light all the way back in January 2017—their most recent clash in any competition—with Jermain Defoe scoring twice to upset a back four made up of Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan and James Milner. Much has changed since then.
