Pre-buzz around the game
It does appear the Reds have got their mojo back. The win over Ajax in their Champions League fixture was a massive confidence booster after injuries to Virgil Van Dijk and Thiago Alcantara. While the latter's fitness will be discussed, he is still doubtful for the clash against a side Klopp's men have a good record against. Liverpool has won their last three games against Sheffield United without conceding a single goal and that's a good stat to have as they host the Blades at Anfield.
Sheffield, still searching for their first win will probably start their club-record signing Rhian Brewster, the former Reds striker. Max Lowe is still awaiting the green light from the doctor after his head injury against Fulham and the Blades will be hoping he's in to provide the additional assist.
Who will win?
Reds will be keen to add three more points to their name and a win will take tie them with Everton for 13 points. With the winning momentum by their side, expect Liverpool to take this home.
