Liverpool hosts Sheffield United in round 21 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, January 2nd at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool turned into an almost unstoppable machine. This season, Klopp's team did not earn maximum points only at Old Trafford. Moreover, the Reds lost only one game in the Premier League in 2019. And here it is worth noting that they lost to the Citizens at Etihad. The results of the Reds at Anfield are quite impressive. The last time Liverpool lost at home in the Premier League was in the 2016-2017 season... Of course, any streak ends someday, but it is unlikely that the Reds will stumble in a match with a newcomer to the Premier League.

Of course, Sheffield performs very well, given the squad of the team. But the Blades have not yet managed to triumph over rivals from the top seven this season. No matter how Wilder’s men cling to the result, they still lack the class to beat a strong opponent. If we look at the last match, Sheffield looked quite good in defense against Man City but was far from active in the attack. There were a couple of attempts, but this was not enough. In general, the Blades gained only three away victories this season. And with such indicators, it is unrealistic to count on a maximum in Liverpool's arena.
The last match of Liverpool with Wolverhampton turned out to be tight and lacked an abundance of goal attempts. Klopp's men practically did not allow anything to be created near their net, but they stormed the Wolves’ penalty area without much activity. We may see a similar scenario in the upcoming match. Sheffield is a tenacious team, like Wolverhampton. Wilder’s men acted very reliably in defense at Etihad and conceded only two goals. In general, only one out of ten away Sheffield’s matches turned out to be productive. Not surprisingly, the Blades scored only 11 goals away but allowed opponents to score only nine goals in response. As for Liverpool, the team didn’t hold the last matches at Anfield productively, having scored only three goals. Given a reliable game in defense and the low scoring of both teams in recent matches, they are unlikely to score four goals or more in the upcoming match. In the first leg, Liverpool beat Sheffield with a minimum 0-1 score, having scored the winning goal at the end of the meeting.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
