2. Christian Benteke Vs. Sebastian Coates
Sebastian Coates is another former Liverpool man in the Sunderland team. He was not a constant starter for Sunderland until Sam Allardyce took over from Dick Advocaat. Now Coates is a constant starter for Sunderland whether it be a three-man defense or four man defense. Coates have been in quite a good form, even though Sunderland has conceded a lot of goals against teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton. Christian Benteke, on the other hand, is looking to prove his critics wrong. Even though Benteke is Liverpool’s top scorer along with Philippe Coutinho, he has received a lot of stick from the fans. Jurgen Klopp has made sure that he supports Benteke and will help him to regain confidence. The Belgian striker himself revealed that a heart to heart conversation with Klopp has helped him to regain confidence. He scored Liverpool’s winner against Leicester. He will be looking to put up a good performance against Sunderland and make contributions to his team.
