Sheffield United vs Liverpool - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Liverpool travel to Sheffield United on Wednesday night
- Reds staged late turnaround to beat Fulham 4-3 on Sunday
- Blades sacked Paul Heckingbottom after 5-0 defeat at Burnley
Liverpool have the luxury of facing a manager-less Sheffield United in midweek after staging a dramatic late turnaround against Fulham on Sunday.
It was a triumph that showed why Jurgen Klopp's side will and won't compete for the Premier League title this season. The Anfield factor will be critical to any challenge, but there will be concerns about the porosity of their defending.
Nevertheless, after Manchester City dropped more points to Tottenham, Liverpool now sit second in the table and are just two points adrift of leaders Arsenal. The Gunners, however, could extend their lead at the summit by the time the Reds kick-off at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United are set to appoint Chris Wilder following Paul Heckingbottom's inevitable dismissal. The Blades were inexplicably thumped 5-0 by Burnley on Saturday and they'll have a caretaker boss in charge for Liverpool's visit.
Here's 90min's preview of Wednesday's Premier League fixture.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool score prediction
Many would've expected a procession for Liverpool at the weekend, but a spirited Fulham showing combined with some sloppy box defending rendered the bout mightily competitive.
That has to be a wake-up call for Klopp's side, who should stroll to victory on Wednesday night.
While Sheffield United might be inspired by Wilder's return, the former Blades boss won't be on the sideline in midweek. The hosts will be keen to avoid a battering, but Liverpool could feast on their vulnerability.
Prediction: Sheffield United 0-4 Liverpool
