Sheffield has to join Liverpool FC on Anfield

As expected, the reigning English champions FC Liverpool started the new season well with 3 wins. Most recently, however, they remained without a win for 2 games, a 7-2 on Matchday 4 against Aston Villa was a negative highlight in the last few decades.

The previous season of Liverpool FC


Jürgen Klopp said before the start of the season that they don't want to defend the title, but attack it again. He seems to have instilled this motto into his players, especially at the beginning of the season, because the Reds started the new season extremely successfully with 3 wins. With Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC, two heavyweights were defeated.

On the 4th matchday, however, they then suffered a historic 7-2 bankruptcy away from Aston Villa. On the last day of the match, the Merseyside Derby couldn't get beyond a draw. With 10 points from 5 games they are now in 3rd place in the table. They have already scored 13 goals (3rd best offensive). In return, however, they have already conceded 13 goals, which actually makes them the worst defensive department in the league. 4 of the 5 previous games ended with more than 2.5 goals and only once managed to keep the zero.

After two rather disappointing results in the Premier League, they celebrated an important 0-1 away win at Ajax Amsterdam during the week. For the first time in 4 games they managed to keep zero. The defensive instability comes from the fact that with Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, two main pillars on the defensive are currently failing. The latter may be missing for the whole season.

Anfield Road as a fortress

The last home defeat that Liverpool conceded in the Premier League was dated April 23, 2017. Back then they had to admit defeat to Crystal Palace 1: 2. So for over 3 years you have been unbeaten at home. Since then, they have remained undefeated for 61 games. You could win the last 3 home games, but you always conceded at least one goal.

Bad start to the season for Sheffield United

The newcomer of the 2018/19 season reached a respectable 9th place in the Premier League last season and thus never had anything to do with relegation. In the second year of promotion, the situation is known to be a bit more difficult, because the opposing teams can better adapt to their own playing style. The season so far proves this, because after 5 games Sheffield United is still without a win. With only one point they occupy 19th place in the table.

They managed this only draw on the last day of the match against the bottom of the table, Fulham. In the 1: 1 draw they only scored the second goal of the season, which is the worst offensive division in the league. In return, however, only 7 goals were conceded. In no single game have they conceded more than 2 goals. 4 of the previous 5 games ended with less than 2.5 goals.

Sheffield United defensive stability

The defense was already Sheffield United's great strength last season. They conceded only 39 goals in 38 Premier League games. Only 3 teams conceded fewer goals, which is the 4th best defense in the best league in the world. Only 4 times did they concede more than 2 goals. 27 of the 38 games ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. In 2 duels against Liverpool FC they could not score a goal, but conceded only 3 goals in return. It was also the first two games against Liverpool in over 10 years.

Betting tip and forecast

Liverpool FC haven't won 2 Premier League games, but they are still the big championship favorites. This is also due to the enormous home strength, since 61 Premier League games they haven't lost at home. Anything but tip 1 would therefore be a big surprise. With Sheffield a defensively very stable opponent travels to Liverpool, but offensively they could only score 2 goals. We therefore do not suspect too many hits and would place a bet on under 3.5 goals.

Liverpool lost points in the last two league matches. On Saturday evening, the national champion will take on Sheffield United, which achieved a result for the first time in the previous round. Time to take a closer look at both teams!

Liverpool:

After five games, Liverpool are ten points in the Premier League. Last season, Liverpool became convincing champions of the English division, but this season The Reds are going to have a lot more difficult in the battle for the national championship. This is not only due to the fact that competition has become stronger. No, Liverpool has not yet reached the level that we are used to from Jürgen Klopp and his men.

Free soccer predictions

Liverpool, for example, has already dropped points in competition in recent weeks in duels with Aston Villa (7-2 loss) and Everton (2-2 draw). Virgil van Dijk was seriously injured in the Merseyside Derby against Everton and Liverpool will have to do without the important Dutch defender for months. On Wednesday evening, Liverpool played without Van Dijk for the first time and that had no negative influence on the result: Ajax was defeated 0-1 in Amsterdam. In the Champions League game with the team from Amsterdam, however, Liverpool did not play a great game and a draw might have done more justice to the proportions.

Sheffield United:

Sheffield United lost 2-0 to Liverpool’s Anfield last season. Chris Wilder’s team will be the underdog again on Saturday evening when it has to visit the national champions. At the moment, things at Sheffield United are not quite as The Blades would like. After five games, Sheffield United only has one point and Sheffield United took that point during the home game with Fulham last weekend: 1-1. It was Billy Sharp who shot the equalizer against the ropes five minutes before the end from the penalty spot and thus gave Sheffield United the first point of the season.

Free soccer predictions

It is difficult to put a finger on the sore spot of this Sheffield United. Wilder has an equal team as last season and The Blades do not play very differently either. The problem is that many teams now seem to know how to fight this Sheffield United. Currently, Wilder is also under the relegation line with his team. Still, it does not seem likely that Sheffield United will really get into trouble this season, because The Blades showed last season that they can still grab the necessary points with their way of play. Sheffield United has lost six of the last seven away games in the Premier League, so that does not bode well for Saturday night’s game.
