Team News

Sheff Utd
Liverpool
  • Chris Basham won't feature against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury, with Jayden Bogle also ruled out.
  • John Fleck returned from illness for their 1-0 defeat to Fulham last weekend.
  • Former Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka will likely keep his place in the side due to injuries to other defenders.
  • More rotation is expected up front but former Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster is unlikely to start.
  • Jordan Henderson has undergone groin surgery and now faces two months out injured.
  • Fabinho and James Milner should return to first-team training on Saturday but it's unclear whether they will be available for Sunday.
  • Nathaniel Phillips is on standby to replace Henderson at the back if Fabinho is not ready to return.
  • Diogo Jota is back in training after missing Liverpool's last 17 matches through injury in a massive boost for Jurgen Klopp.
  • Roberto Firmino now has a very realistic chance of dropping out of the team completely with Jota back, though this match may come too soon but certainly moving forward.
  • Naby Keita was back on the bench against Everton last weekend and Liverpool supporters will be desperate to see him play here.
  • Alisson's availability is perhaps in doubt following the tragic passing of his father.

Prediction

  • After signs of a resurgence, Sheffield United have lost three in a row and are 14 points from safety with a maximum of 39 left to play for.
  • Liverpool's tough run continued last weekend as they lost a Merseyside derby at Anfield for the first time since 1999.
  • Sheffield United (9) have remarkably picked up more points than Liverpool (7) in the Premier League in 2021.
  • Liverpool have lost four Premier League matches in a row for the second time in their history, and first since 2002. They haven't lost five league games in a row since 1953. Surely that won't happen here, will it?
