Sunderland v Liverpool Tip
He looked lively on his return at Old Trafford and now the controversial Uruguayan may make the Black Cats suffer.
With some firms going odds-on that Luis Suarez will score on his Premier League return, BetVictor are somewhat out on a limb in offering 29/20 on the Uruguayan finding the net anytime against Sunderland.
The 26-year-old struck the bar on his return to competitive action in midweek at Manchester Utd in the League Cup and the 90 minute run-out will have done him the power of good.
On Sunday, against the team bottom of the league, he will fancy his chances of getting back on the goal trail. The former Ajax man struck 30 times in 44 appearances across all competitions in 2012-13 and may well have finished with the Golden Boot had he had not been suspended.
Suarez’s prolific goal return should not have come as a surprise given his quality and the sheer number of ‘tickets he buys for the lottery.’ He had 187 shots on goal in 33 league appearances last term. To put that in perspective, Robin Van Persie only had 141 from 35 appearances.
The controversial striker scored at the Stadium of Light last season and then grabbed a couple more against Sunderland at Anfield in January. He looks a good price to continue that sequence on his comeback.
