Liverpool take on the visitors Sheffield United in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, April 4th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool have played under Klopp for many years. The club maintained optimal relations with him even after last season, which ended outside the Champions League zone. But reacting to this, showing a good football year this time around, turned out to be Jurgen's last goal. He openly and publicly admitted in winter that he doesn't feel the strength to commit himself to the next season. The German will definitely not leave empty-handed: his proteges, specifically van Dijk with a goal in extra time, secured victory in the League Cup. But there won't be a quadruple: Manchester United knocked out the old enemy in extra time in the FA Cup round of 16. Yes, there's still the Europa League, where the Englishmen, barely noticing Prague's Sparta, will play against Atletico. But the focus is on the Premier League. They are leading the competition there. In the last round, direct competitors played against each other. And it ended optimally for the leader: a goalless draw between opponents. Well, against Brighton, the Reds won 2-1, pulling away from them.

Sheffield United are already preparing to play in the Championship. The Blades managed to win the right to move up to the Premier League last season. On the second attempt, Heckingbottom raised his charges directly – alongside Burnley. But then, at a higher level, the team is again competing with the Clarets, but for a minimal task that has no tournament significance: who of them will manage to take the penultimate place. But those relegated are from the 20th, 19th, and even 18th positions. Theoretically, there is still a chance to escape, but even after a coaching shuffle and the return of local legend Chris Wilder as manager, hardly anything changes, and all real achievements amount to the level of putting a spoke in the wheel. As was the case in March with Bournemouth, but even there, leading 2-0, they ended up with just a draw. It was even worse with Fulham: leading 3-1 but conceding in the 86th and 90+3 minutes.
In 2006, after moving up to the Premier League, the Blades managed to draw with the Reds. But all the other 6 matches brought victories to Liverpool, including a 2-0 away win in favor of Salah and company. The Reds are, of course, obliged to win, and without problems. Let's bet on them with a handicap of -2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -2.5 handicap.
