My tip: Win for Liverpool

We have a duel two teams which stay in the table middle of the English premier League here but we must consider that Sunderland AFC and Liverpool FC are in a small result crisis lately and that they have got hold of one point each in the last three rounds. These bad results have had an effect on their table placing so that the Black Catss cover the 12th position in the league first while the Reds have ranked seventh with five points more on the account. They are ten points arsenal fourth put on this one behind so that they will stay also in this season without placing into the champions League. The beginning: 10.03.2012 - 16:00

In the first leg of these two teams at the Canfield Road a draw was played while the Reds have been much more successful in the mutual duels of the two teams within the last years.

We already have said that the team plays a little worse in the second half of the season from Sunderland to the very good start but they have managed to qualify in the quarter-finals of the FA cup in the meantime so that coach O'Neill cannot be too dissatisfied. Two defeats in sequence against arsenal and WBA were apparently the result of the double load so that they have handed in a good game in the guest performance against Newcastle at the last weekend again and to a point come. You had a great chance to come to the three but two red cards (Cattermole and Sessegnon) have cost it very much because (1:1) has shot the experienced Ameobi in compensation in the last minute. Coach O'Naill must employ two new players against the Reds and these probably will be the young midfield player Colback and the go-getter Campbell while the defence row will remain unchanged, since it has finished off its job against Newcastle very well. Furthermore three injured defensive players and to be more precise Brown, Bramble and Angelei, will be cancelled.

Expected list Sunderland: Mignolet - Bradley, O'Shea, gymnast, Richardson - Larson, Gardner, Colback, McClean - Campbell, Bendtner

Only a won point in the last three derbies means the end of the hope of the team from Liverpool for one of the champions League positions in the league. Obviously the popular Reds have concentrated on the national cups too much so that they have the trace brought in and collected after which an outwards defeat them in the premier League first one home draw against against ManU as well as against arsenal FC at the Canfield Road. The last defeat had to be offensively played particularly painfully because they have collected a goal against in the last minute and this only proves that the charges of the coach Dalglish simply do not know because the concentration falls off in the defence for them in such situations. Definitely such a case happened to them against arsenal but one must consider that they have missed the injured Johnson and Agger in the defence at that time. These two players have represented the biggest defence barrier in the Premiership together with Skrtel and Jose Enrique for a while. Until recently they were the team in the league with fewest collected goals against. In the duel against Sunderland in which the injured midfield players Lucas and Gerhard will be cancelled we expect that they give the defence much more attention in the attack very much of the atmosphere the Suarez will a brilliant uruguayan take off, lasting.

Expected list Liverpool: Reina - Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Jose Enrique - Adam, Spearing - Kuyt, Henderson, Downing - Suarez

Under normal circumstances the Reds would be big favourites but after they have collected defeats against archrivals in the last two rounds, we think that their self-confidence is shaken quite so that they probably will play with their favourite tactics against Sunderland and although will try them the game to slow down. With a careful way of playing of the hosts which is expected from them we can expect a goal poor game.
