THE TEAM NEWS

SHEFFIELD UTD

Sheff Utd lost in the League Cup midweek but it does not detract from their excellent result last weekend as they beat Everton at Goodison.
Despite the impressive result, Chris Wilder admitted it was not one of his side's better displays this season so they will look to improve.
After such a good result, the likelihood is that Wilder will name an unchanged team as they come up against the league leaders at home.

Predicted line-up (3-5-2): Henderson; Basham, Egan, O'Connell; Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens; McBurnie, Robinson

Unavailable: Sharp (Suspended)

Doubtful: McGoldrick (Injured)

LIVERPOOL

Liverpool's relentless form continues as they picked up three points at Chelsea last weekend and the second-string beat MK Dons in midweek.
That match in the League Cup saw Keita return to action and the midfielder will return to the first team squad and add to Klopp's options.
Klopp is likely to name an unchanged side from that which beat Chelsea with rotations more likely in the midweek match against Salzburg.

Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Unavailable: Clyne (Injured), Alisson (Injured), Origi (Injured), Shaqiri (Injured)

Doubtful: Mane (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Sheff Utd picked up a morale-boosting win over Everton at Goodison last weekend but in truth, that was more down to the home side being so poor. They are unlikely to face a Liverpool side as poor and Jurgen Klopp's men's relentless pursuit of the league title can continue with another win here.
