Sheffield United vs Liverpool

Being thumped 5-0 by Burnley heralded both the sacking of Paul Heckingbottom and Chris Wilder's Sheffield United comeback, and the latter's Bramall Lane return comes with his boyhood club rooted to the foot of the Premier League table. The Blades have a four-point deficit to 17th-placed Luton Town, having won just once and failed to keep a single clean sheet in the league this season. Following five successive top-flight defeats to Liverpool, the Yorkshire side today seek a first win over the Reds since 2003.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool

Liverpool extended their perfect home record with a remarkable 4-3 victory over Fulham last weekend, when Trent Alexander-Arnold's 87th-minute strike secured the Reds' 11th win from 11 games at Anfield. As a result, Jurgen Klopp's men sit second in the Premier League standings, five points below leaders Arsenal. However, only one of Liverpool's last six away games has ended in success - a 2-1 EFL Cup win away to Bournemouth - and each of their 10 road trips this season has seen them concede at least one goal.
