Liverpool continue their chase for a second league title under Jurgen Klopp on Thursday, as the Reds look to move five points clear at the summit. Sheffield United will be the visitors to Anfield, as they look to enhance their chances of a shock survival bid in the Premier League.
Premier League Preview
It could be a hugely successful end to the season for Liverpool, as the Reds could end the campaign with three major trophies. However, the one honour that they are desperate to land this term is the Premier League title. The Reds hold the advantage in the race at this stage, as they sit two points clear of Arsenal with nine matches remaining.
Liverpool have been in excellent form throughout the 2023-24 season, winning 20 of their 29 matches, meaning no side has claimed more wins at this stage of the campaign. Furthermore, the Reds have suffered just two defeats this term, which is the fewest of any team in the competition. Liverpool come into this round after landing a 2-1 success against Brighton in the previous round of matches.
Time looks to be running out on Sheffield United’s stay in the Premier League this season, with the Blades still sitting bottom of the standings. Chris Wilder’s side have recorded just three victories in 29 outings this term, and that sees them sit seven points adrift from safety with nine matches of the season remaining.
It’s likely that they have missed their best opportunity to close the gap on safety after being held to two draws in their previous two matches. Both of those fixtures saw the Blades have commanding advantages, before throwing away leads to settle for a point.
Liverpool vs Sheffield United Head to Head
Liverpool have recorded victories in each of their last six matches against Sheffield United in the Premier League. The Blades have scored just once across that period, and they have conceded a staggering 13. Meanwhile, Sheffield United have suffered defeats in ten of their last 12 away matches against the Reds.
Liverpool vs Sheffield United Prediction
This appears to be a huge challenge for Sheffield United in the Premier League this week, and it could be hard to see them posing much of a threat to the Reds. Therefore, we could see the home team winning by at least a three-goal margin to strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
