Liverpool v Sheff Utd

Liverpool vs Sheffield United Preview

Liverpool registered a 2-1 home win against Brighton on Easter Sunday to extend The Reds' unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games which has helped Jurgen Klopp's side into top spot in the table and two points clear of second placed Arsenal (at the time of writing), while Sheffield United were held to a 3-3 draw at home by Fulham and this means The Blades still remain firmly rooted at the bottom of the table.

Five wins within their last six games overall in the English top flight will more than likely stand Liverpool in good stead for this upcoming clash with their basement dwelling visitors Sheffield United following victories against the likes of Burnley, Brentford, Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and the aforementioned Brighton, while four of these last six games have also produced three goals or more.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have been dealt just the one loss in their previous 22 matches overall whilst picking up 15 wins in the process as well as 13 of these 22 games also resulting in three goals or more scored too.

In addition, Anfield has remained a fortress this season for Liverpool as the merseyside club still remain unbeaten on home soil, picking up 12 wins within their 15 home games to date in this campaign.

Sheffield United are likely to still be kicking themselves after letting a 3-1 lead slip against Fulham on Saturday as the Yorkshire club were eventually held to a 3-3 draw despite being 3-1 up with just four minutes remaining.

This disappointing draw follows a previous 2-2 stalemate down on the south coast at Bournemouth just before the international break where Chris Wilder's side had held a 2-0 lead with just over 15 minutes to go and ended up having to settle for a point, thus resulting in Sheffield United dropping four points from a possible six on offer, which could prove to be very costly.

Indeed, those four points that The Blades have dropped would have seen the visitors climb off the bottom of the Premier League table and just three points from safety but this is what separates the teams above the bottom three clubs and those currently occupying a place in the relegation zone.

Overall results have produced just the single win from their last 13 matches for Sheffield United which came in the form of a 3-1 win at Luton Town but that has been the visitors' only highlight on the road so far this season, but eight of Sheffield United's 14 away games have also produced three goals or more as well.
