Five points is a large margin at this juncture, but with Manchester City seemingly back to their rampant best, Klopp’s side cannot afford a misstep in the Steel City.
Liverpool should have too much quality for Sheffield United, but do not write off the Blades – they will take heart from Norwich’s win over Manchester City and seek a similar shock.
Yet it is hard to see the depleted forward line troubling Liverpool’s secure defence in the same manner, and thus we are predicting a 3-1 Liverpool win.
