Liverpool will host Sunderland in the 14th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. German midfielder Wirtz stated that he will not put too much pressure on himself while hoping to have a greater impact on the team.

Liverpool secured a 2-0 away win against West Ham United in the last round of the Premier League, thanks to goals from Isak and Gakopo. With these crucial three points, Liverpool currently sit 8th in the table with 21 points, while Lebrew's Sunderland are 6th with 22 points.

It is worth mentioning that Wirtz was named the best player of the match for his outstanding performance against West Ham.

Wirtz, 22, said, "I'm really happy to start because I missed two games before, and I'm glad the coach decided to put me on the field. I keep trying to do my best to help the team turn things around and get us back to winning, and I'm happy to make the best contribution to the team."

“I’ve been playing more as a number 10, which gives me the freedom to get into open spaces and create advantages. I’m trying to make our possession flow more smoothly and work hard to create chances. I’ve had a couple of scoring opportunities, but I’ve been a bit unlucky lately, but I’ll keep trying.”

Wirtz also said, "I'm happy that I played well and helped the team win the game. As for goals and assists, those will come soon. I won't put too much pressure on myself because I know what I can do on the field. When I can help the team win in this way, I'm very happy."

“I don’t know if this is my best performance for Liverpool so far, maybe that’s for other people to judge. But I’m happy that the team won and I’m happy to have contributed to the victory, and I’m also happy to have left my mark on the team.”

In addition, Isak, who joined Liverpool in September this year, finally scored his first Premier League goal for the Reds in a match against West Ham.

Wirtz said, "I'm really happy for him. He's a very good player and striker, so I hope this is the start of more goals for him."
