Maresca is to blame for the team he has put out there. You have to start with the best available XI. You cannot tinker too much in the Premier League. Saqib - London Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Milos Kerkez and Federico Chiesa replace Andy Robertson and Alexander Isak. Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Bad news for Florian Wirtz. He's back down to zero Liverpool goals. Nordi Mukiele has been credited with the own goal. Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Dion Dublin Former Aston Villa and Man Utd striker on BBC Radio 5 Live It's a lovely bit of skill from Wirtz. He feints once, he feints twice and then it does take a huge deflection and goes in. The keeper has no chance. He deserves that bit of luck just for being positive. Leeds 3-1 Chelsea Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okfar have efforts off target as Leeds try to put this to bed. Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Jamie Carragher Former Liverpool defender on Sky Sports Wirtz gets his goal. The crowd erupts. That's what you need to do, be more aggressive, be on the front foot and that all came from Curtis Jones. Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Half time substitute Mohamed Salah (31) has had twice as many touches than Alexander Isak in this match (15). Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland Mike Minay BBC Radio 5 Live commentator at Anfield Wirzt has his first goal for Liverpool. It has been a long time coming since his big move in the summer. He tricked his way into the area, got it on his left boot, and with a little bit of space it's found a way past Roefs. There might have been a deflection but he doesn't care. Anfield doesn't care. That feels like a big relief. Florian Wirtz (81 mins) His first Liverpool goal! Curtis Jones wins the ball off a Sunderland player and finds £100m man Florian Wirtz. He beats two or three defenders and shoots - and it goes in via a huge deflection off Nordi Mukiele. Liverpool 0-1 Sunderland Sunderland's last league win at Anfield was in October 1983. Leeds 3-1 Chelsea Chelsea have conceded three or more goals against an opponent starting the day in the relegation zone for the first time since April 2021 v West Brom (a 5-2 defeat). Leeds are 17th as things stand. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Seriously! This Liverpool team are a pale shadow of the team that Klopp bequeathed to Slot. They have no pace and can’t defend. Van Dick an Salah are busted flushes. Why they let Diaz leave is anyone’s guess. It’s all ponderous tosh frankly. Bring back Jurgen…if he’d have us! Don - Winchcombe Liverpool 0-1 Sunderland Sunderland bring on Lutsharel Geertruida for Enzo le Fee. Liverpool 0-1 Sunderland Stephen Warnock Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 Live Sunderland look like the better team here. Liverpool are all over the place. Liverpool 0-1 Sunderland Steph Houghton Former Manchester City and England captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Van Dijk gives the ball away and then he just drops off. It's the wrong decision. He needs to go to the ball. Him not making the decision means that no one else knows what to do. If he goes to the ball then he forces Talbi out wide, whereas he gets the opportunity to shoot on goal. The way Sunderland have been playing at the moment that was more than likely going to hit the target. Leeds 3-1 Chelsea Marc Guiu replaces Andrey Santos for Chelsea. Forward for a holding midfielder Leeds 3-1 Chelsea Chelsea thought Robert Sanchez was fouled for that goal by the way but the officials did not. Leeds 3-1 Chelsea With goals against Manchester City and Chelsea, Leeds forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin has netted in consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time since September 2024 (v Bournemouth and Aston Villa). Leeds 3-1 Chelsea Gary Neville Former Manchester United defender on Sky Sports A nightmare for [Enzo] Maresca. A dream for Leeds. They've kept pushing, they've always been a threat. Chelsea have given them encouragement after encouragement after encouragement. The centre-backs have been sloppy all night. You've just got to welly it up the pitch, what are you doing trying to control it in there? That front two for Leeds have beaten Chelsea up for 72 minutes. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Liverpool's biggest mistake of the summer was not signing Marc Guehi. Their defence has looked awful this year.
