Sheffield United hosts Liverpool in round 26 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 28th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
In the previous season, Sheffield United nearly got in the Europa League qualifiers, but now the team is struggling to survive. The Blades are on the last line of the English Premier League standings, and the prospects for maintaining their residence in the top division are very vague - three wins, two draws, 20 defeats, and the goal difference of 15-41. In February, Chris Wilder's men lost three games in a row with a total score of 1:6. The overcrowded infirmary also adds problems. Due to injuries, five important players will miss the upcoming meeting, and four of them are defenders.

The reigning champion is going through difficult times. Liverpool has dropped to sixth place in the Premier League standings after four defeats in a row. This situation has not happened for 98 years. Another misfire took place last weekend. The Reds hosted Everton, and as we expected, the derby ended in favor of the Toffees. They have gained victory at Anfield for the first time since 1999. Jurgen Klopp has enough problems, but his mood got even worse, as another footballer picked up an injury in the last match. Jordan Henderson was forced to play as a central defender, but now the German coach will not be able to count on him. Seven players of FC Liverpool are injured now.
Despite all the problems of Liverpool, it is in the upcoming confrontation that it is worth betting on the Reds. Sheffield United is a suitable opponent to somehow rehabilitate themselves and gained the first victory after four defeats in a row. The Blades are the main outsiders, whose game is not going well this season. The attacking trio Mane-Salah-Firmino must prove its class one day, and they have a great opportunity to do it in the upcoming match. Moreover, the hosts cannot count on four defenders. Finally, we will note that the Reds have the advantage of head-to-head confrontations – four wins in a row with a total score of 9:1.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.0 handicap
