There were positive signs in early November when Sheffield United won 4 points after 2 matches against Wolves and Brighton. But very quickly, Sheffield United returned to the ground with 2 unexpected defeats, receiving up to 8 goals.

 

Most notably, the 0-5 loss at Burnley proved that Sheffield United’s strength is not enough to compete in the Premier League. After 14 matches, The Blades continue to be bottom of the table with 5 points, 4 points from safety.

 

Sheffield United like that is definitely Liverpool’s favorite prey. The recent super dramatic victory over Fulham greatly increased the morale of Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students.

Obviously, meeting Liverpool is not good news for Sheffield United.

 

After the opening whistle, Liverpool entered the game at high speed with the desire to soon find Sheffield United’s net. With superior strength and being in shape, Liverpool, as usual, dominated the ball control in the first half. However, Virgil van Dijk was the only one to score a goal in this half, after a neat finish by an accurate pass from a corner by Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 37th minute. Notable highlights of the half. 1 is that Sheffield United played too hard, causing the match to be interrupted many times.

 

The second half was quite similar to the first half, when the away team’s possession of the ball was still high and Sheffield United rarely got the ball. Or if there are situations where Sheffield United organizes a counter-attack, they cannot handle it well because they do not have a quality striker in the squad.

 

In the last minutes, the home team tried to create more attacking situations, but without knowing how to score a goal against Liverpool, Sheffield United lost the second goal. Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the gap for Liverpool in the 90th minute. +4. 2-0 for Liverpool is also the result of this match. Winning the match, Liverpool has 34 points and is currently only 2 points behind top team Arsenal. Meanwhile, Sheffield United ranked 20th with 5 points.
