The Sheffield United vs Liverpool encounter in the English Premier League next weekend should be an easy three-pointer for the Reds especially since they have overcome the Chelsea test last Sunday.

Klopp’s men beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge last weekend meaning they have now picked up maximum points from their opening six matches in the league.

The Reds should not be too stressed going into the Sheffield United clash at Bramall Lane since the home side have managed to pick up just two wins out of their past five matches in the league.

But just four days after this match, Liverpool play in the Champions League so it won’t be surprising to see some big names being rested vs the Blades.
