Liverpool v Sheffield United Preview
Liverpool’s Form
Liverpool have their destiny in their own hands as we head toward the business end of the season. With 9 games left Klopp and his Liverpool side know if they win their remaining matches they will land their second Premier League title. Their 67-point total is already 3 ahead of their total for the entirety of last season.
Last weekend they earned themselves a crucial 2-1 victory over Brighton coming from behind with Welbeck scoring in the 2nd minute to equalise through Diaz in the 27th minute before Salah got the winner in the 65th minute. That made it 13 points from their last 5 league games and with City and Arsenal’s draw elsewhere put the title in their hands.
Victory for Liverpool would mean they re-claim top spot.

Sheffield United’s Form
Sheffield United were promoted to the Premier League following their second-place Championship last season with 91 points 10 short of winners Burnley. However, they’ve found this season tough with 15 points from their first 29 games putting them bottom, albeit with two games in hand on their rivals and two draws in their last two games.
Last weekend they played out a dramatic 3-3 draw against Fulham, heartbreakingly losing their 3-1 lead when Cordova-Reid scored in the 86th minute and Muniz equalised in the 93rd minute. It was a huge blow to their survival hopes in what was a strange game where their 8 Shots had an XG of 1.79 whereas Fulham’s 24 only totalled 1.10.
An unlikely win here would put a late survival surge back on the cards for Wilders Warriors.

Key Players To Watch
Caoimhin Kelleher – Liverpool
In the absence of Alisson through injury, Corkman Kelleher has been handed the opportunity to get the gametime he arguably deserved, and he has taken the opportunity with both hands. After playing for Ireland once during the International Break, this may be his final chance in a Liverpool shirt with Alisson reportedly closing in on match fitness.
Bereton Diaz – Sheffield United
Diaz spent the start of the season playing a bit part role on loan with Villarreal in La Liga and that move has proven to be an error as since he’s returned to Sheffield he has been in flying form. In 5 Premier League games, he has 4 Goals and 1 Assist including a brace last weekend. Had he been around for the full season, could they’ve picked up more points?
Liverpool v Sheffield United Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Sheffield United
Liverpool are title favourites for a reason, they’ve 13 points from their last 5 league games and with a game in hand on their rivals and a subjectively easier run-in, it could be one last hurrah for Klopp's side.
Sheffield have been dismissed out of hand all season, but two draws from their last two games suggest to me they could put in a late survival run-in. With 2 games in hand on their relegation rivals a win here would be huge in the context of their season.
Liverpool should be far too good though.
Best Bet: BTTS No @ EVS
