Liverpool v Sunderland odds for Week 1 of the new 2011 Premier League season had Liverpool as 4/9 favorites. Sunderland was an 8/1 long shot to win. The draw had odds of 3/1.
There might be some value here on either Sunderland or the draw with news that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is out until September with a groin infection.
A team statement noted:
"Steven Gerrard today began a course of antibiotic treatment for an infection related to an ongoing groin problem," it said.
"He is expected to remain in hospital for several days while the precautionary procedure is completed.
"The player will then return to Melwood to continue his rehabilitation programme and is expected to be available for selection in September."
