This round of Premier League fixtures concludes on Thursday and we preview the match involving the teams at the top and bottom of the table.

The game between Liverpool and Sheffield United will be played on the 4th of April at Anfield. The hosts begin this round of matches top of the league on 67 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 15 points.

Liverpool come into the game having beat Brighton 2-1 at home in the Premier League on the weekend.

It was Brighton who took the lead after only 2 minutes but Liverpool equalised in the 27th minute to go in level at the interval. Into the second half and Liverpool improved, scoring the winning goal in the 65th minute.

The victory over Brighton means Liverpool are undefeated in 10 of their 11 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

They have been wins over Burnley and Luton Town at home plus Brentford and Nottingham Forest away in the Premier League, Sparta Prague home and away in the Europa League, Southampton at home in the FA Cup, and Chelsea in the League Cup final.

Statistics show Liverpool are undefeated in each of their last 32 home matches in all competitions. They have won 5 of their last 6 home Premier League games and have scored 2 or more goals in 12 of their 15 most recent league fixtures on home soil.

Sheffield United travel to Anfield on the back of a 3-3 draw at home with Fulham in the Premier League. The Blades will be disappointed they did not win the match and they were 3-1 up going into the final 5 minutes only to concede 2 goals, the second of which came in the 93rd minute.

The draw with Fulham means Sheffield United are undefeated in their 2 most recent games having also picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.

However, Sheffield United are struggling to win matches. They have won only 1 of their 10 most recent fixtures in all competitions and the victory came at Luton Town in the Premier League.

Trends show Sheffield United have won just 1 of their last 15 away Premier League fixtures. They have failed to score a goal in 5 of their 10 most recent away trips in the league.

Looking ahead to the team news and Liverpool continue without Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joël Matip, Alisson Becker, Thiago Alcântara, Stefan Bajcetic, and Diogo Jota who are all injured. There are also doubts over the fitness of Andy Robertson.

Sheffield United make the trip to Anfield without several injured players, including Max Lowe, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Chris Basham, John Egan, George Baldock, Rhian Brewster, and Tom Davies. Cameron Archer is a doubt due to a calf problem.

On paper, there can be no other prediction than a Liverpool win for this game. Sheffield United will try to keep the hosts at bay for as long as possible but Liverpool should have little trouble in making the breakthrough.

This match also presents the opportunity for a rare home clean sheet for The Reds.
