Liverpool midfielder Henderson insists no Sunderland split loyalties

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson says there's no split loyalties facing Sunderland tonight.

Henderson made it to Wembley earlier this month to see his old club in the Capital One Cup final.

"At first it was a little bit strange because I was at Sunderland from I was young," he revealed to Liverpoolfc.com.

"But I've been at Liverpool for a few years now and I feel like it is sort of like home for me, so it doesn't really matter who me or the team play against - I just want to win every game.

"I'm sure it'll be very difficult because they're another team fighting for their lives. They've got some very good players and I'm sure they'll be right up for it coming to Anfield.

"We'll need to make sure we're right at it from the start, get the crowd with us and play with a lot of energy and tempo.

"High tempo is the key, I think, and I'm sure if we do that we can get the win."
