EPL games come thick and fast, and we head to Anfield as The Reds seek 3 points and to improve their goal difference against bottom placed Sheffield United. Liverpool is top of the league with 67 points and have a 2-point lead over Arsenal. Overall, they have 20 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats. Home form sees them unbeaten with 12 wins and 3 draws. Recent all competition form sees an unbeaten run of 11 games with 9 wins and 2 draws (although they drew with Man Utd 2-2 they did go on to lose in extra time in the FA Cup last month) Sheffield United are bottom of the pile with 15 points, 10 points behind Nott’m Forest in 4th last and safety. Overall form is 3 wins, 6 draws and 20 defeats. Away form reads 1 win, 3 draws and 10 defeats. Recent form sees 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Team news: Liverpool are still without a host of players but have no new injury worried. Indeed, they have Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson back available. Sheffield’s injury list is as bad as the home sides with Norrington-Davies, Basham, Lowe, Egan, Baldock, Brewster and Jebbison all out. Doubts over Tom Davies and Cameron Archer also.
Head-to-head statistics: 9 games – 6 wins Liverpool, 2 draws and 1 win Sheffield United
Betting selection – I can only see a Liverpool win here but its just trying to get the correct value bet. Home win odds are incredibly low with Liverpool as short as 1.06 or 1-16. Although Liverpool has the 2nd best defensive record, they have been conceding the 1st goal quite a lot in games (last three league and cup matches) I am taking them to halt this run and Liverpool win without conceding at 17-20 or 1.85 10bet.
