"Liverpool return to Anfield on Wednesday night trying to determine whether their win at West Ham was the start of an upturn or simply a brief pause in an otherwise rocky spell. Arne Slot's side eased to a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium, while Sunderland pulled off one of the most dramatic results of the season, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Bournemouth 3-2."
"Slot's decision to leave Mohamed Salah on the bench raised eyebrows, yet Liverpool produced one of their better performances of recent weeks without him. Whether Salah returns to the starting XI or not, Liverpool enter the midweek round aiming to break into the European places. They sit eighth, but only three points separate them from Chelsea in third, underlining how tight the table is behind the top two."
