Liverpool Preview – Can Liverpool get back on track?
Liverpool ended their recent disappointing three-match sequence without a win in all competitions during the week when they registered a 1-0 win away from home at Ajax in the Champions League and The Reds will now return to Anfield for this Saturday night’s clash against Sheffield United, looking to make it back-to-back wins.
Recent defeats to Arsenal in the League Cup (on penalties) and more damaging, a heavy 7-2 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League weren’t helped by a disappointing 2-2 draw with local merseyside rivals, Everton in last weekend’s derby.
However, on the Premier League front and at home, Liverpool have won their last three matches on the trot, scoring a total of 12 goals and conceding 7 goals in reply while the bigger picture shows that the hosts are unbeaten in their last 61 matches which is an incredible record.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades contain Liverpool?
When you’ve lost four of your opening five matches of a new top flight season, the last place you’d want to be going is Anfield to face an almost unbeatable Liverpool outfit in their own backyard but this is the task that lays ahead for Saturday’s visitors, Sheffield United.
Early defeats against Wolves, Aston Villa, Leeds United and Arsenal handed The Blades four straight defeats to start this season’s Premier League campaign and although they stopped the bleeding with a point against Fulham at home in a 1-1 draw, Sheffield United still remain in the bottom three of the Premier League, sitting second from bottom.
Overall, The Blades have lost seven of their last eight matches in the top flight and have managed to pick up just one away win out of their last 12 matches on their travels which doesn’t bode well for this upcoming trip to merseyside to face a rampant Liverpool outfit on their home patch.
