Match Preview
A miserable start to the Premier League season reached a new low for Sheffield United in the previous round of matches, as they were poor across the field when losing 5-0 to Burnley. That defeat saw the Blades move to the bottom of the Premier League standings, and they are now four points from safety. The loss was also their second straight defeat after going two without a loss.
Liverpool have been in strong form throughout the season to this point, as they sit second in the league standings. The Reds won a thriller in their previous outing, as they scored two late goals to register a 4-3 win at Anfield against Fulham. The Reds are now among the highest scorers in the league after netting 32 times in 14 matches.

Sheffield United has a poor record in this fixture, as they have lost each of their last five in the Premier League against the Reds. Liverpool have won on each of their previous two visits to Bramall Lane, which ended a run of just two victories in their previous eleven top-flight visits. But, the Reds are winless in their last four away matches against newly promoted sides.
Sheffield United boasts a fine midweek record in the Premier League, as they have won four of their last five. Meanwhile, Liverpool have also excelled in midweek league matches, as they have won each of their previous nine since a 1-0 defeat against Brighton at Anfield in February 2021.
Sheffield United vs Liverpool Prediction
Sheffield United will need to be much better than they were against Burnley in their previous match. However, we struggle to see their leaky defense keeping out the Reds, meaning that it could be worth siding with the away side on the spread.
