Relegation threatened Sheffield United take on the faltering Liverpool in this intriguing clash. All eyes are on Liverpool as they aim to get back to winning ways after a loss in the Merseyside Derby last week.

Despite Sheffield United winning against Newcastle and West Brom in recent times at home, the Reds should have too much despite continue to be hit by injuries.

Head to Head

These two sides have met 134 times with Liverpool holding a 62-41 head-to-head record. There have also been 31 draws.

Liverpool have won their last four matches against Sheffield United, including earlier this season 2-1 at Anfield. Diogo Jota bagged the late winner in a hard-fought game.

The Reds also won away at Bramall Lane last season thanks to a Dean Henderson blunder. He allowed Georginio Wijnaldum’s tame shot to go through him, giving Liverpool a 1-0 victory on their way to the title.

Sheffield United Form

Chris Wilder’s men are staring relegation in the face as they sit 14 points off safety and rock bottom of the Premier League.

Losing back-to-back away games at Fulham and West Ham has seen the gap grow, and the inevitable seems more and more likely.

Sheffield United have actually won 5 out of their last 10 games in all competitions, thanks to two wins in the FA Cup.

But they have lost their last three in the Premier League with a 2-1 loss against Chelsea followed by 3-0 and 1-0 defeats to West Ham and Fulham.

The Blades have lost the most games this season with 20 defeats in 25 games.

Sheffield United Injuries & Team News

Chris Wilder’s first-choice centre-halves are all unavailable. John Egan has joined long-term absentee Jack O’Connell and Chris Basham on the injury list.

Midfielder Sander Berge and forward Lys Mousset also remain out.

Liverpool Form

It is now just one win in the last five matches in all competitions as Liverpool’s poor run continued with a first derby loss at Anfield in 22 years last time out.

Richarlison and a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty earned Everton a 2-0 win and inflicted a fourth straight Premier League defeat on the reigning champions.

A 2-0 win in the Champions League against RB Leipzig was Liverpool's first win since successful in back-to-back games at the end of January against West Ham and Tottenham away.

Since then, they lost to Brighton 1-0, Manchester City 4-1 and Leicester 3-1 in the Premier League.

Liverpool Injuries & Team News

To add to Liverpool’s misery and already extensive list of injuries, captain Jordan Henderson is out for up to 12 weeks.

Long term absentee Diogo Jota is back in training and may make the bench.

Virgil Van Dijk has stepped up his rehab and is completing training outside, but is still a long way from returning.

Other long-term injuries include Joe Gomez, Fabinho, Joel Matip and James Milner.

Verdict

Sheff Utd v Liverpool

Liverpool have been in awful form. But Sheffield United’s poor form makes this a perfect chance for Liverpool to boost confidence levels. I expect Mo Salah and Saido Mane to cause havoc.
