A very interesting clash is about to take place on Thursday, when Liverpool will play host to Sheffield United. The hosts look unstoppable this season but if anyone’s going to make it hard for them, it’s Sheffield United. They have been really hard to beat and should put up quite a fight here.

Sheffield United (7-5-8) were harmless up front in their away match against Manchester City, but ended up losing by 0-2. They did hold out for about an hour but then conceded twice to eventually lose their first ever match on the road. They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the league table with 29 points, just seven points behind the top-four. Sheffield United have been a hard nut to crack on the road (3-1-6), only failing to score twice.

Liverpool (18-0-1) are coming off a very slim 0-1 home win over Wolves last weekend. It was a pretty balanced match between the two sides and Liverpool scored the only goal of the match at the end of the first half. They look unstoppable this season and are still leading the Premier League with 55 points, ten ahead of Leicester who have played two more matches. Liverpool have been perfect at home (10-0-0) so far, scoring 27 and conceding just 9 goals.

Liverpool have the upper hand in this match-up over the years (2-0-1) but they struggled to beat Sheffield United by a slim 1-0 on the road earlier in the season. The visitors are really solid defensively and we might not see a lot of goals here.
