In their last four visits to Bramall Lane, Liverpool have not managed a win, but this dates back to 1992. Sheffield are just returning to the Premier League after 12 years out and have so far made an impression, which they will be hoping to extend, especially after picking a win in Liverpool, over Everton in their most recent Premier League match. They however suffered a shock loss to Sunderland in the League Cup in midweek and will also have Billy Sharp suspended for the Liverpool game. With two wins in six matches in the Premier League so far, Sheffield will be hoping they can bank on home advantage, though they have lost each of the last two at their backyard. This will be the first time Sheffield hosts Liverpool since the 2006/7 season, when they played to a 1-1 draw on the opening day but one thing Liverpool will be holding on is their stat against newly promoted sides. They have won the last 12 Premier League matches against newly promoted teams, and in this run they have let in just four goals while netting 35.

While Sheffield United have lost the last two home matches, it will be crucial to note that they have not picked three straight home losses in league matches since February of 2013, at the time they were playing in League One. Liverpool have taken in just one loss this season, away to Napoli in the Champions League. Save for the draw with Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, all the rest are wins. However, in their last league game, they were saved by the VAR, as they went on to beat Chelsea 2 – 1. They are unbeaten in their last 23 Premier League matches while each of the last 15 have ended in wins and they have scored two or more in each of the last 15. Though they don’t have a very good run at Bramall Lane, Liverpool have a great away run going to this game, having won each of the last seven away in the Premier League and being unbeaten in 11. They rested most of their first team players for the MK Dons match in the League Cup on Wednesday and we expect them to be back at full strength for this clash. In a total 96 meetings between the two sides, Sheffield have managed 31 wins and Liverpool 45.
