Liverpool vs Sheffield United Predictions and Betting Tips: Premier League 02/01/20

Liverpool vs Sheffield United Preview

Liverpool remain unbeaten in the Premier League heading into the new year. The gap to second has become a chasm that looks unlikely to be closed by either Manchester City or Leicester. If Liverpool can keep their nerve, the title is there’s for the taking.

Sheffield United are having a wonderful first season back in the Premier League. The Blades have surpassed expecation by avoiding a relegation dog fight and establishing themsleves in the top half of the table. If they can keep this up they are in contention for Europe next season.

 

Liverpool vs Sheffield United Predictions

Sheffield United have had an excellent defensive record this season. No side has kept more clean sheets than The Blades, with only Liverpool conceding fewer. Liverpool’s last encounter with Sheffield United ended in the narrowest of 1-0 wins.

The Reds had made a habit of conceding a single goal during their Premier League campaign. However, Liverpool have recorded three consecutive league shut outs and have kept four clean sheets in a row in all competitions with van Dijk and Gomez at the heart of their defence.

If the reverse fixture is anything to go by, this won’t be an easy win for the league leaders. Sheffield United put up a good fight and created chances but were ultimately wasteful. With home advantage for Liverpool, it will be even tougher for The Blades to come away with anything.
