Sbragia fears Reds response
Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia fears his side could be the victims of a Liverpool backlash on Tuesday night.[LNB] Liverpool entertain Sunderland at Anfield on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports 1, still smarting from their 2-0 defeat by Middlesbrough at the weekend.[LNB]Sbragia is expecting Liverpool to be up for Tuesday's clash as they look to keep their slim title hopes alive with victory against Sunderland.[LNB]When asked if it was a good time to be facing Liverpool, Sbragia said: "No not at all. I don't think it is a good time going anywhere. [LNB]"They would look at it that they got a bad result on Saturday and lost three valuable points.[LNB]"But usually they will rise to that and at home they are a different team completely and I think it is going to be even more difficult tomorrow.[LNB]"I think people like Gerrard are going to be back, they do move it around really well and they play a system which suits Liverpool.[LNB]"We have to try and nullify that as best as we can and on the day hope they don't perform as a team, maybe a setback from Saturday but I can't honestly see that.[LNB]"Again like everything else the first 25 minutes is going to be really important to us and we have got to make sure we don't concede and maybe we can stamp our authority on the game."
