Sheffield United will be looking to bounce back from their 5-0 demolition by fellow strugglers Burnley when they entertain high flying Liverpool at Bramall Lane on Wednesday evening, however we don’t fancy the home side’s chances here.
Ahead of Sheffield United’s visit to Turf Moor at the weekend, Burnley had failed to collect a single point on home soil in their seven league outings since the start of the season, however against the Blades they scored five without reply and condemned the South Yorkshire side to bottom spot in the table. Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom was unsurprisingly sacked on the back of this latest defeat and his replacement, Chris Wilder, will be tasked with turning things around.
The visit of Liverpool couldn’t have come at a worse time and with the home side still reeling from their weekend thrashing, the chances are that the visiting Reds could run riot here. Jurgen Klopp’s men kept their excellent form going at the weekend when they snatched an unlikely victory against Fulham, despite being a goal behind with just three minutes left on the clock. Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored in the 87th and 88th minutes to secure the three points for Liverpool and they head into this match having suffered just a single league defeat since the start of the season.
Across competitions, only one of Liverpool’s last six away games has ended in victory and they have both scored and conceded in their last ten trips. This may well give Sheffield United some hope that they can spring a massive upset here but we don’t envisage this happening. The home side will likely add to the scoreline against the Reds and the change of manager could breathe new life into the side, however the Blades’ defensive issues will take time to resolve and another potential thumping awaits the South Yorkshire outfit on Wednesday evening.
