Liverpool vs Sheffield United Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Liverpool vs Sheffield United
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Anfield.

The Blades are the worst team in the competition right now, something hugely unexpected after their best run of 2019-20. They have so far lost all but one of their league games and have scored their fewest goals to date, just two.

And to top it off, they face none other than the defending champions.

Jurgen Klopp's men have not been able to start the season in the best way and suffered a major setback last week. Virgil Van Dijk will likely be out for a period of seven or eight months with an ACL injury, and suddenly the Reds don't look so intimidating anymore.

In addition, their arch-rivals Everton seem to be almost unstoppable and are at the top of the table with four wins and a draw.

Suffice it to say, the champions need a big win to regain confidence, and this clash couldn't have gone any better.

Count on desperate Liverpool to make the most of this match against the current worst team in the tournament and claim a resounding victory.

Liverpool vs Sheffield United: head-to-head (h2h)

• Klopp's men are on a streak of three consecutive victories against this opponent and have kept a clean sheet in all these games.
• The last win for Chris Wilder's men against this rival was in 1994.
• In the last 26 years, no visitor has scored a goal at Anfield.
• For the past three decades, the home team has a 100% win record at this stadium, except for a single game in 1994.

Liverpool vs Sheffield United: Prediction

The Reds drew 2-2 away from home on the last day of the game against Everton. Meanwhile, the Blades drew 1-1 at home last week against Fulham, the worst team in the league.

As it stands, Wilder's men are the weakest of all in the PL, and their place at the bottom of the table is absolutely deserved. They have a 100% losing record this season, apart from the draw against Fulham, and have scored a total of two goals so far.

On the other hand, their counterparts are the defending champions and have also been phenomenal at home. Incidentally, the only defeat by Klopp's men at this stadium in the last 12 months was against Atlético de Madrid, and also in the CL, in extra time.

On top of that, they also have a tremendous h2h record against this opponent in recent years, and particularly recently.

As such, expect Liverpool to get a win this weekend. Count on them to also seek a great victory, to regain your confidence.
