Sheffield United vs Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 06.12.2023

Liverpool will be expected to close the gap on the top of the standings this week, as they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United. Paul Heckingbottom is widely expected to be relieved of his duties before this fixture, with the Blades sitting bottom of the standings.

 

Premier League Preview

Liverpool are firmly in the race for the Premier League title this term, as the Reds come into this fixture sitting second in the standings. They could move to the top of the standings this week, if they are able to claim maximum points and Arsenal fail to beat Luton. Confidence around the camp should be high after Liverpool produced a stunning comeback to record a 4-3 success against Fulham on Sunday. 

There is likely to be limited confidence around the Sheffield United camp coming into this fixture, as they have suffered two defeats in a row. Their most recent loss was a humbling experience at Turf Moor, as they fell to a 5-0 loss against Burnley. That defeat means that the Blades have now conceded 39 goals in the Premier League this term, and they are four points from safety.

However, the Blades have a solid record in midweek matches in the Premier League, as they have won four of their previous five in the competition. Interestingly, in the 2020-21 season, a staggering 57% of their wins were picked up by victories in the middle of the week. 

Liverpool have underperformed against newly promoted opposition in recent seasons, as they have gone four without a victory in away matches. They haven’t endured a longer winless sequence against newly promoted sides since going nine without a victory between November 1969 and December 1973. 

Sheffield United vs Liverpool Head to Head

The Blades have suffered defeats in each of their last five matches against Liverpool in the Premier League. That comes after going four without defeat against the Reds. Meanwhile, Liverpool have won on each of their previous two visits to Bramall Lane in the league. 

Sheffield United vs Liverpool Prediction

Liverpool don’t have the best record against newly promoted sides, but that looks to be a trend to ignore this week. The Reds have been full of goals in recent months, and we struggle to see Sheffield United keeping the Liverpool forward line at bay. Therefore, we expect a healthy win for Liverpool.
