Sheffield United appear to be the most likely team to face relegation. Despite their ambitious goals following their Championship promotion, they’ve only secured five points in their first 14 Premier League games. Although they’re only four points away from safety, unless things change, it seems implausible for Sheffield United to remain in the league. It’s unfortunate that The Blades suffered defeats in their last two games against struggling Bournemouth and Burnley, with scores of 3-1 and 5-0 respectively. They were trailing from the first minute in their Saturday game against Burnley, leading to a straightforward three-point win for the home team.
Liverpool had a worse performance only in the first season under Jurgen Klopp compared to the last one where they finished fifth in the league. This year, however, Liverpool bounced back and are currently trailing the league leaders, Arsenal, by just two points after 14 matches. The team has avoided defeat in their last four matches across all competitions. They recently secured a 4-3 win against Fulham at home. Despite trailing 3-2 late in the game and dominating ball possession with 17 more shots, Liverpool managed to snatch victory with late goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 87th and 88th minute respectively. Such a win undoubtedly boosts Liverpool’s confidence as they prepare to face Sheffield United.
Sheffield United vs Liverpool pick: Liverpool to win and cover AH -2 spread
Sheffield United’s performance at home has shown some improvement, but their record still stands at 1-1-5 with a goal difference of 7:19. Conversely, Liverpool’s away record is only slightly better at 2-4-1. However, playing against Sheffield United presents an opportunity for Liverpool to enhance their record. Therefore, Liverpool is expected to win this game and cover Asian Handicap -2.
