Sheffield United vs Liverpool Preview: Match preview, betting odds, head-to-head, and more | Premier League 2019/20
It's a clash of last year's Premier League runners-up vs the Championship runners-up as Liverpool go on an away trip to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United. The Reds will be looking to make it 16 wins on the trot at a venue they have failed to win in during their last three visits there.
The Blades are enjoying somewhat of a good spell in the English top-flight, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses enough for 10th spot with the same number of points accrued as giants like Manchester United and Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp's men will seek to extend their dominance at the summit of the Premier League, with Manchester City playing later in the evening.
However, the Blades would be looking to throw a spanner in the works, drawing inspiration from their impressive outings against Chelsea and Everton. They shared the spoils with Chelsea and beat Everton away at Goodison Park.
Despite Liverpool's dismal record away at Bramall Lane, the conquerors of Europe may be a bridge too far for Chris Wilder and his men.
