Liverpool vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Liverpool lost points in the last two league matches. On Saturday evening, the national champion will take on Sheffield United, which achieved a result for the first time in the previous round. Time to take a closer look at both teams!
Liverpool:
After five games, Liverpool are ten points in the Premier League. Last season, Liverpool became convincing champions of the English division, but this season The Reds are going to have a lot more difficult in the battle for the national championship. This is not only due to the fact that competition has become stronger. No, Liverpool has not yet reached the level that we are used to from Jürgen Klopp and his men.
Liverpool, for example, has already dropped points in competition in recent weeks in duels with Aston Villa (7-2 loss) and Everton (2-2 draw). Virgil van Dijk was seriously injured in the Merseyside Derby against Everton and Liverpool will have to do without the important Dutch defender for months. On Wednesday evening, Liverpool played without Van Dijk for the first time and that had no negative influence on the result: Ajax was defeated 0-1 in Amsterdam. In the Champions League game with the team from Amsterdam, however, Liverpool did not play a great game and a draw might have done more justice to the proportions.
Sheffield United:
Sheffield United lost 2-0 to Liverpool’s Anfield last season. Chris Wilder’s team will be the underdog again on Saturday evening when it has to visit the national champions. At the moment, things at Sheffield United are not quite as The Blades would like. After five games, Sheffield United only has one point and Sheffield United took that point during the home game with Fulham last weekend: 1-1. It was Billy Sharp who shot the equalizer against the ropes five minutes before the end from the penalty spot and thus gave Sheffield United the first point of the season.
It is difficult to put a finger on the sore spot of this Sheffield United. Wilder has an equal team as last season and The Blades do not play very differently either. The problem is that many teams now seem to know how to fight this Sheffield United. Currently, Wilder is also under the relegation line with his team. Still, it does not seem likely that Sheffield United will really get into trouble this season, because The Blades showed last season that they can still grab the necessary points with their way of play. Sheffield United has lost six of the last seven away games in the Premier League, so that does not bode well for Saturday night’s game.
