Liverpool vs Sheffield United team news

Billy Sharp will serve the final game of his three-match suspension, while David McGoldrick is touch and go to recover from the groin injury that kept him out of last weekend's win over Everton.

Alisson, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi are unlikely to feature as they continue to recover from injury, although Sadio Mane should be fit to return after missing Wednesday's EFL Cup clash with MK Dons due to a minor knock.

The Reds have certainly picked up where they left off last season, wasting little time in securing win after win in the league.

Indeed, they have been leading at half-time in all six of their victories this campaign, scoring 12 of their 17 goals before the break.

In contrast, Chris Wilder’s team has only found the net in the first half once in their six league matches, and lost three of their last four fixtures on home turf.

Liverpool vs Sheffield United predictions

All things considered, odds of 1.91 look like solid value on Liverpool coming out on top after leading at the break for the 10th league game in a row.
